Acrylic on canvas and ink on paper.

Arcos makes one-of-one works. A plotter moves a brush through acrylic paint on canvas or a pen across paper, following paths developed with code.

Process

How the works are made.

Each work starts with a line composition made with code. The plotter then moves a pen along the prepared path on paper or a brush through acrylic paint on canvas.

With ink, the line stays precise. With acrylic, the paint moves and mixes under the brush, so the result changes slightly each time.
