About the Item
What do you get when art meets math and computer programming? If you’re Ani Aba, what you get are stunning replicas of art historical masterpieces or replicas of animals portraits made from thread. The 32-year-old Russian artist developed the technique in conjunction with her husband, Andrey, a talented mathematician who uses an algorithm to generate patterns for recreating printed or painted images in this unique medium.
“Without a computer program, it would not be possible for the human eye to create something like this” .“My program analyzes millions of possibilities of how to place the threads and when it finds the result that best matches the photograph, it stops counting.”
Andrey’s algorithm makes some 2 billion calculations in order to produce a pattern for each work. Thanks to the computer’s instructions, Ani knows just how to have the different threads overlap to recreate famous works of art such as Johannes Vermeer’s The Girl With the Pearl Earring or Leonardo da Vinci‘s Mona Lisa.
The effect is remarkable. Black, white, yellow, red, and green threads, crisscrossing over one another and winding around nails hammered around the edge of a circular plywood board, somehow come together to form a realistic portrait. Each piece takes hours to make, the string passing cross the piece as many as 8,000 times in order to create the final image.
Muriel Guépin Gallery is the first gallery to represent her works.
