Generative art: a flow field, a Truchet tiling and a plotter drawing

Generative art — Thousands of thin curved lines following an invisible flow field across a square, bunching and parting like hair or grain, the density varying, a two-tone palette on a plain ground, no figure., pen-plotter drawing, single fine ink line, cream paper, slight pen tremor, minimal

Reading 2Truchet tiling
Reading 3Plotter drawing

Generative art is the image made by a rule and read as one: a flow field of curved lines, a grid of Truchet tiles, a plotter's wobbling circles. These nine render each as a pen-plotter drawing, a crisp digital render and a two-colour risograph print. Ask for a circle packing or a phone wallpaper instead and the same three renders carry it.

  • a set of three for a minimal gallery wall

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each image is drawn square (832×832) with an even margin — prints clean at any size, from a small frame to a large square canvas.
Can I use my own rule or idea instead of the three shown?
Yes — the direction field takes your own idea, such as a circle packing or a specific palette, and the same three renders draw it.
What's the difference between the three renders?
Pen plotter reads as a single fine ink line on cream paper; screen render is a crisp flat digital look; riso print adds the grain and slight misregistration of a two-ink risograph.
Is this a real algorithm, or just a filter?
These are new images drawn in the generative-art tradition — not the literal output of a specific plotter file or algorithm, and not resellable as source code.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
