Procedural Drawing #16

PROCEDURAL DRAWINGS by Agoston Nagy is a collection of consistent structures where each of the 24 artworks forms part of a larger group with similar image architecture, uniform resolution, and pen width but varying colors from a predetermined palette. While each piece is monochromatic, it is the quality and density of the lines that provide the dramatic effect across the scenes.

There are three color variations of paper used. The grey variant evokes a traditional aesthetic, reminiscent of classical etchings, mechanical sketches, typewriter drawings, or architectural plans. The black paper exudes a more immersive quality, with a ritualistic undertone, especially when the bright silver lines contrast against the dark background, evoking imagery of chalk drawings, ephemeral structures, kolams, rangolis, yantras, and sacred geometry. The blue color is derived from the third channel of the RGB computer screen, representing the color of transitional states in the digital realm. It is a color often associated with crashes of operating systems or the absence of input signal in imaging devices.
