Comes sun. Metaphorically.
On a physical level I'm trying to capture the burning bright sun, right after the rain. Pixel landscape generated in Processing4 with flexible Cellular Automata rules and a very soft Notan. The randomness is being diminished diagonally, until chaos becomes order.
Notan is the underlying abstract framework of dark and light values, upon which you build the value structure of a painting. The arrangement of darks, lights, and grays, regardless of the colors used, creates an impression of beauty. It derives from two words that refer to the amount of ink you use for a pen and ink wash drawing. Nong( 浓 ) meaning thick, strong, concentrated, and Dan (淡) means weak, watery. Hence, the term ‘Notan’ literally means concentrated/weak.”
