Chroma is a generative artwork displayed as a continuous and everchanging animation. Using a custom-made software, the artwork references Abstract Expressionism with dripping painterly gestures that evoke this influential movement that emerged in Europe and the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. As a painting that never ceases to paint itself, the artwork also incorporates geometries and forms that are clearly digital, becoming a conversation between analogue and electronic media.
The palette of the artwork rotates through numerous sets of colors that appear on the screen at any given time, putting forth dialogue between painting and pixel. From time to time, the screen’s “canvas” fades to black, allowing for a new “painting” to begin from scratch.
