Generative Art and Architecture: A Conversation with Kjetil Golid
Tue 13 Feb 2024 19:00 - 20:00
Pavilion Gallery, Cromwell Place, SW7 2JE
Description
Join Kejetil Golid in conversation about his new body of work by entitled 'Monument'.
"Often characterised by geometric grid-like forms in unique colour combinations, Golid’s works are reminiscent of futuristic cityscapes. Constructed from technicoloured building blocks, these structures are arranged in ever evolving and repeating patterns. The artist’s practice is thrilling for the way in which it suggests myriad references from urban architecture and science fiction to landscape drawing. In 'Monument', Golid’s signature grammar of cubic shapes, black lines and luminous colour is instantly recognisable. In this series, geometric forms take on a new verticality. Inspired by the aesthetic of Brutalism, shapes ascend like totems of concrete architecture.
With a background in graphic design, cognitive science and later computer science, Golid has long been interested in systems and structures. His work involves playing with systems of data to create pictorial compositions. In turn the artist shares his practice in the form of open source code and interactive tools, encouraging others to explore the creative possibilities of generative art" — Verse.
