Sunset by Henry Lees Explore Mondoir Studio Medium: Hand-Drawn with Gears and Pigment Inks, pastel Dimensions: 29 x 46 cm Year: 2025 Price: $450.00 USD Status: available Further explorations of moiré patterns, this is directly inspired by Koken Murata's use of lines to depict light and water. Applying a similar principle, the pastel scene depicts a sunset over a horizon, with a moiré pattern describing the air through the scene. Why collect this work?A dense field of undulating lines nearly overtakes the sunset motif, turning the horizon into a test of how little pictorial information is needed to sustain a landscape. The artist profile describes Henry Lees as using gears and semi-autonomous systems for hand-crafted generative art. In this work, systematic repetition is not merely a method but the main visual subject.The photograph shows closely spaced dark lines running across a vertical rectangle. Their changing curvature forms broad swells, while a narrow orange-red passage establishes the horizon and concentrates the strongest contrast near the lower third.The catalogue identifies pigment inks drawn with gears alongside pastel. Here, repeated ink contours might structure the moiré effect, while pastel supplies broader tonal zones that remain visible through the linear screen.The work is a focused case study in the tension between landscape recognition and procedural abstraction. The sunset remains legible, yet its air, light, and possible reflection are all subjected to the same continuous system. About the ArtistHenry Lees Henry Lees is an artist on Mondoir Studio.
