In this artwork, 150 crosses spread on a vibrant “jade without covenant” background, whose radiant color exudes a refreshing, dynamic energy. The crosses travel in free-form shapes and sharp turns, colliding and building a complex web of travelment and chaos. Each line tells its own story, yet together they merge into a harmonious, unpredictable whole.
The “jade without covenant” background offers the ideal setting, amplifying the energy of the lines. This intense color lets the forms come to life, bringing a powerful tension to the piece. The contrast between the calm, even background and the wild motion of the lines forms an intriguing equilibrium.
This artwork celebrates the freedom of randomness and the beauty of spontaneous spreading. The 150 crosses on this lively background invite the viewer to explore the unknown and experience the dynamics of creativity without boundaries.

Crosses jade without covenant
This generative artwork, titled "150 crosses on jade without covenant", studies crosses as a repeating structural element. The composition treats geometry like a simple alphabet: units are placed, rotated and spaced with restrained randomness. The intention is to balance order and variation so the eye moves calmly across the surface.
The color theme "jade without covenant" works as a quiet foundation. Small changes in tone help separate layers without breaking the minimalist character. Rather than heavy gradients the piece relies on clear edges, consistent spacing and readable figure–ground relationships. This creates an image that stays legible at different viewing distances.
Crosses lend themselves to this approach because their outline is easy to read. Minute rotations change their energy and create directionality. In clusters they suggest flow; in isolation they act like anchors that hold the rhythm together. The arrangement aims for tension without noise.
From close range the small decisions become visible: line thickness, micro-rotations, offsets and the way neighboring elements align or miss slightly. From a distance these details merge into diagonals and bands. The work deliberately supports this dual reading, which adds quiet movement without forcing the eye.
Light plays a role as well. On matte papers the surface reads softly and the geometry becomes a gentle texture. Under directional light the crisp edges produce a subtle flicker as the viewer changes position. This interaction keeps the work active without demanding attention.
Details
Additional notes: repetition, spacing and alignment are adjusted in small steps to avoid visible tiling artifacts. The palette around jade without covenant remains restrained so structure stays primary. The aim is long-term legibility on paper and consistent results across prints.
Printing guidance: smooth, neutral white papers work best. Thin borders and simple frames support the geometry without adding visual weight. For larger sizes keep viewing distance in mind so both micro details and overall rhythm read comfortably.
