Hatches are portals to other places. They uncover lost layers, like peeled wallpaper exposing old images and emotions.
This code-based gen art series explores how simple design rules can lead to expressive compositions. Watercolor washes and cross-hatching add a hand-made feel to humanize each piece and soften the vibe.
These works blend inspirations from Frank Lloyd Wright's decorative works, Art Deco patterns, the Bauhaus school, and Sol Le Witt's rules-based art practice into fresh new compositions.
Each artwork can theoretically be recreated by someone with graph paper, pens and pencils, and watercolors -- though it would take time and a steady hand.
Hatches marks Rob Dixon's return to Art Blocks, where he released three AB500 collections as Radix in 2021: Inspirals (AB Curated), Eccentrics, and Eccentrics 2: Orbits.
Using the innovative PostParams interface, collectors can customize their artworks, changing color palettes, brush styles, and compositional elements.
