Fracassare

thedotisblack Xeronimo2/512

Fracassare is a generative artwork named after the Italian word for "to smash” or “to break". It describes the effect of large elongated shapes disturbing multilayered flow fields that are filled with colors and various hatch lines. Despite the appearance of chaos, the flow fields add a certain level of control to the overall composition and disturbance. This creates a sense of tension, movement and energy, as if the shapes are constantly changing and evolving – to keep the viewer guessing at what might break next.

Fracassare is the second collaboration between Jerome Herr (Xeronimo) and David Mrugala (thedotisblack).
