SQ 1

‘SQ1’ is the starting point of the SQ series: a grid of squares that is set in motion by colour and subtle displacement. The artworks are created in SVG code and published as art prints on aluminium, watercolour paper or acrylic panels.

‘SQ’ is a series of geometrically abstract works in which a grid, colour and subtle displacement create tension throughout the composition. Within a uniform grid, squares are offset, modified and assigned distinct colour values, creating a vibrant and dynamic aesthetic.

Colour and dynamics

In SQ1, movement between the squares takes centre stage: contrasts, colour and rhythm cause the pattern to dance. The result is an interaction of stillness and movement that is typical for the entire SQ series.

The design was created directly in SVG code: a computer language that uses simple mathematical instructions to describe lines, shapes and colour values. The SVG code for ‘SQ 1’ was converted into a high-resolution sublimation print on an 80×80 cm aluminium panel.
