“Licia He is best known for her intricate watercolor drawings created with plotters, and her new “Fictional Lullaby” generative art series is her most ambitious work to date. For Licia this work is about wandering thoughts that go everywhere in the evening, thoughts that make it hard to fall asleep. The focal point of each image in the series is the “eye” that curves through a regular grid space as a collection of energetic curves. She is pushing the materials of the physical drawings far within this series. Licia has thoroughly explored new pigments that are reflective and customized a mix of watercolor and acrylic paint to find the right saturation and fluidity. This work brings composition, color, and material together into a synthesis of incredible craft and energy.
