Generative Paintings

The initial idea was to manually create a random pixel image.

I decided to take an old 500 pieces puzzle and spray one half black and the other white. For the second painting I generated random shades of grey through a spraypainted gradient and the third one randomises gradient orientations.

60 pieces, black and white gradient

The first painting turned out to be quite torturous to solve. I ended up doing it upside down in order to see the cut edges correctly and not be distracted by the black and white pieces.
