Description

Julien Gachadoat (aka v3ga) has been exploring generative drawing for many years. He grew up in the 90s amid the avant-garde demo scene, making visuals with code. Ever since, programming languages have been his creative tool.

Creating unique art with algorithms, he works with the emergence of abstract form. Combining monochrome, geometric shapes, he plays with repetition, using random operations to generate an element of surprise. Julien Gachadoat uses the computer – “this unique performer” (Vera Molnár) – to develop his own creative tools based on simple graphic rules, and then to explore the formal possibilities that ensue. By
printing these unique pieces with a plotter, he creates a link between text and code, between computer and pencil, and between the rigour of code and the poetry of art. “To leave a unique mark, aesthetically palpable, that is not in defiance, but rather in aid of the digital”: this is his philosophy.

Gachadoat has developed an international following through social media.
Constantly looking to work with others in new ways, he has also created a series of silkscreen prints with Atelier SerreJoint in La Rochelle (France), as well as drawings with an industrial robot in collaboration with AATB studio, Marseille (France).

Gachadoat had the honour of meeting and working with Vera Molnár in November 2023 to create a unique plotter drawing, « Deux générations pour un sommaire ».
