Generation Colour - c1349220295406 (#GCOLOUR_09)

Select Size

About: A series of highly visual designs by digital artist and programmer Robert Allison. "Generation Colour: Four initial colours are crossed with each other (and themselves) to produce ten more. This process is repeated, each expanding generation exposing underlying structure in finer detail. 25 results arranged on each piece." In Robert's work individual colours are defined as 'genetic sequences', realised digitally as a string of 1s and 0s. Each is a kind of 'creature', encoded by a binary DNA, but then expressed as the usual RGB or HSV colour-map values. Because of this representation, colours can be mutated and crossed with each other within the computer to form new variations. Oversized pixels, rastered onto the image plane, are used to record these colours as they are created.

Visualising these operations shows how richness and complexity can emerge from simple processes iterated to a massive scale. The potential of the purely computational, the mechanistic, is explored as it approaches the boundary with the natural, the tactile, the 'real'.

Each series investigates a different combination of techniques, rendered for effect. The pieces are randomly seeded, and are a unique result from the process they express. They are titled by their 'Unix timestamp' - the exact time of creation recorded as the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC 1st January 1970.

Medium: A range of designs printed onto a canvas and stretched over a chunky box frame

Canvas Prints

Our enduringly popular fine art canvas prints transform any image into a beautiful work of art.

Each image is printed using a 12 colour giclée fine art printing process onto a luxurious 400gsm artist-grade cotton canvas material. The printed canvas is then carefully hand stretched over a chunky 38mm deep stretcher bar frame milled from the finest quality kiln dried knotless pine sourced from sustainable European forests.

Lead-time 7-10 days

All of our canvas prints are made to order from our workshop in the UK with a typical lead-time of 7-10 working days. Please contact us if you are in a rush or need it by a particular date and we will try our best to meet your needs.

Easy to install

The printed canvas frames come ready to hang with a pack of hooks to fit onto the back of the canvas frame. Being much lighter than a traditional framed print with glass, the canvas frame can be easily hung on your wall using normal picture hanging hooks and pins.
