CAT. 009 — Color Grid (2023), Ermelo. Autonomous digital artwork from scanned watercolor and wax crayon textures, 1:1 Digital Format (Ultra HD Master).
Color Grid
Rectilinear geometric blocks with delicate watercolor gradations
Dialogue Between Analog Texture and Digital Precision
Constructivist rectangular color blocks organized in a balanced geometric grid. Saturated fields of Prussian blue, scarlet, ochre, and jade display granular washes and drying rings.
In our Ermelo atelier, transparent watercolor washes on heavy cotton rag paper and the tactile tooth resistance of wax crayons were scanned with microscopic precision. In this 1:1 composition, the unique physical attributes of each medium come alive.
"A dialogue between De Stijl rectilinear geometry and organic watercolor fluid washes."
Tactile Materiality & Analog Scans
The physical foundation of Color Grid relies on the organic friction between fluid watercolor washes, dense wax crayon tooth resistance, and microscopic optical digitisation in our Ermelo studio.
300gsm Cotton Rag Tooth
Deep watercolor pooling forms subtle capillary blooms along the paper grain, capturing natural edge accumulation impossible in purely synthetic vectors.
Wax Crayon Friction
Heavy wax crayon strokes leave micro-fissures and granular tooth fragments that reflect light with physical depth and tactile warmth.
4000px Ultra HD Scan
High-DPI flatbed capture maps every fiber shadow and pigment grain into an uncompressed digital archive master ready for museum printing.
The Palette of Color Grid
The specific chromatic components and analog pigment references presented on a pure neutral backdrop for exact visual fidelity.
Prussian Blue
Deep architectural rectangular field on right
Cadmium Red
Central and lower red rectilinear anchors
Yellow Ochre
Warm luminous left-hand blocks
