numpytillism, transcribing after Matisse
numpytillism, transcribing after Matisse is Helena Sarin’s genesis mint from May 2020, highlighting her iconic use of CycleGANs and post-processing Python scripts. The naming of the piece relates to the commonly used Python library, NumPy, used for a variety of mathematical functions. Aesthetically, the piece draws inspiration from Henri Matisse’s Odalisque masterpiece, following the compositional form of the nude figure.
