vivid coral-like forms generate everyday items in gaudí’s style

 

Visual storyteller Marcus Byrne envisions regular household appliances in Antoni Gaudí’s architectural aesthetic using artificial intelligence image generator software. The graphic designer re-imagines everyday objects drawing from the famous architect’s vibrant intricate designs. The twentieth-century styles such as neo-gothic, art nouveau, and modernism that characterize Gaudí’s designs are reflected in the AI-generated images through vivid colors and free-flowing coral-like shapes. The digital art series are illustrated through the process of combining popular text-to-image software, Midjourney, and Photoshop for additional editing.

Marcus Byrne conceives organic CURVILINEAR-SHAPED appliances

 

Mimicking Gaudí’s sophisticated architectural style, the series displays flowing shapes and textured surfaces reminiscent of natural tree and cave organic formations. ‘We live in an age of Apple and Tesla with minimal design taking charge,’ notes the digital artist and photoshop professional. ‘All car brands have similar looking models and company logos are stripped back to live in the tiny space world of mobile devices.’ Drawing back to the vibrant, multi-color buildings with ceramic mosaic tiles and stained glass, the series of digital illustrations re-imagines regular household appliances in Gaudí’s aesthetic. The AI-generated artworks form organic curvilinear-shaped everyday items in colorful patterns.
