Sketchbook B

Sketchbook B builds upon William Mapan’s 2023 series Sketchbook A, in which Mapan’s code evoked the playful crayon and coloured-pencil sketches that arise from the freedom of childhood and uninhibited creativity. In these new works, Mapan articulates a deeper introspection, transforming the digital canvas into something inherently human, imbued with the artist’s touch and a more refined sense of personal expression. The dynamic geometric and organic forms are accompanied by a sense of spontaneity that defies their algorithmic origins.
