Julien Gachadoat

Julien Gachadoat has been exploring generative drawing for many years, creating unique artworks with algorithms. He works with the emergence of abstract form, combining monochrome geometric shapes, playing with repetition and using random operations to introduce an element of surprise. Developing his own creative tools based on simple graphic rules, Gachadoat uses the computer—“this unique performer” (Vera Molnár)—to explore the formal possibilities that arise.

Through the process of fabricating these unique pieces using a plotter, Gachadoat creates a link between text and code. “To leave a unique mark, aesthetically palpable, that is not in defiance, but rather in aid of the digital”—this is the philosophy of the artist from Bordeaux, who has developed an international following through social media. On paper, he brings together the computer and the pencil, the rigor of code and the poetry of art.

Constantly seeking collaboration and new methods of creation, Gachadoat began working in the field of crypto art with a desire to make moving images and to explore new areas while promoting his distinctive practice.
