“Risograph Reverie” is an enchanting series of risograph graphics by Duncan Rawlinson. This collection engages the viewer with its distinctive blend of form and color, representing a compelling dialogue between the abstract and the photorealistic, the expected and the surprising.
Rawlinson’s approach is a testament to the transformative capacity of art, where photography meets artificial intelligence to create something entirely unique. Each piece begins its journey as a photograph, a frozen moment in time, which is then fed into an AI tool that reshapes it into a vibrant dance of neon-colored geometric forms. The light magenta and azure hues act as commanding players on this visual stage, setting the tone for the playful motifs and mismatched patterns to unfold within a uniquely compelling 6:17 aspect ratio.
What’s even more mesmerizing about this series is its perfect symmetry, creating a harmonious continuity when placed side by side. Each graphic functions as a tile, seamlessly connecting with its neighbors to form a larger, interconnected canvas that amplifies the visual impact. The result is a dynamic, infinite spectacle where each piece, while powerful as a standalone, is part of a greater, mesmerizing whole.
In “Risograph Reverie,” Rawlinson bridges the tactile world of risograph printmaking with the endless possibilities of the digital realm. The collection, tactile and tangible, vibrates with the unique energy of risograph art, while the individual graphics, designed under the algorithmic direction of an AI, add a modern and innovative twist.
Navigating through this series is an invitation to lose oneself in a world where neon-colored geometric forms come to life, where patterns blend flawlessly, and where every piece is an integral part of a captivating, cohesive narrative. This is Rawlinson’s celebration of contemporary art – a space where color and form, reality and imagination, and technology and traditional printmaking coexist in a fun and harmonious dance of creativity.
