I am participating in a group exhibition with stained-glass artist Yvette Berthels and sculptor Hugo Boccara. The exhibition takes place at the Etterbeek Town Hall from 11/12/2025 to 5/01/2026, open from 8 am to 4 pm (until 7 pm on Tuesdays). In addition to the new series of Chromageneses, you will also see those exhibited at the Sofitel Hotel in 2024.
Below: the official invitation, the full set of original artworks, and the introductory text.
The original artworks
All original artworks come from Wikimedia Commons.
For this exhibition, I primarily selected very high-resolution images. As a result, the Chromagenesis process is more demanding, but it allows for 300 dpi prints in large formats (typically 70 cm on the longest side).
Here is the complete set of original artworks. Can you guess who created them? They are all featured in the Gallery and their chromageneses are also on the website. It’s up to you to find them!
Introductory text
Chromagenèse, from Chroma (χρώµα: colour) and Genesis (Γένεσις: creation, origin). Revealing the coloured spirit of a work
I have devised an artistic process at the intersection of generative art, traditional painting, and technology. I named it Chromagenèse. A digital reproduction of a work remarkable for its palette is first analysed, then deconstructed and recomposed based on the properties of the colours: segmentation, harmonious associations, new composition.
A Chromagenèse contains exactly the same pixels and has the same dimensions as the source image; only the arrangement of the colours changes – but this new organisation results from patient and intuitive work, far from being automatic. To create these variations, I developed my own tools in Julia, a free and open-source programming language that I control and adjust at every stage.
Will you be able to recognise the artist and title of the original painting from the exhibited Chromageneses?
