Fractal Paintings by Will Teather


There's plenty of Will Teather's work I wanted to feature here, but I'd rather leave you to lurk around the British artist's website and instead I'll focus your attention to his impressive and sometimes sacred fractal paintings. 

Each piece was done with oil and, if you don't have time for a movie or to read a book, Will's paintings are easy ways to kick back and escape reality for a few short minutes. He explains:
"These lattices reference both postmodern pixilation within painting, as influenced by digital culture, and the longstanding idea of an underlying order within both visual art and our wider perception of reality. They are also informed by the obsessive exploration of geometric patterns by the outsider painter Eugene Andolsek and the automated techniques of Sol Lewitt, who would pass instructions onto assistants who then created his drawings.
