The composition contrasts the rough, weathered textures of the foreground boulders with the smooth, receding planes of the lake…

Duncan Rawlinson made this abstract with AI as part of his work joining artificial intelligence with a photographer’s eye for color. Teardrop and petal shapes fan out from a low center point, spreading up and outward like a slow explosion. The forms overlap in translucent oranges, greens, purples, and blues, each shape shifting the color of the one beneath it. Thin contour lines ride across several petals, and small dots of red, blue, and green float in the open ground around the burst. A pale…

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using photography and artificial intelligence. The work captures an indigo droplet striking water, producing concentric rings and radial structures similar to spherical harmonics—the patterns that appear when a sphere vibrates at specific frequencies. The liquid forms nodal lines that divide the surface into zones of high and low displacement, freezing a physical event in time. Deep blues and purples fill the frame, contrasted by lighter tones where the water…

Duncan Rawlinson created this image with AI, part of his ongoing blend of contemporary photography and artificial intelligence. A ghost of a woman turns mid-step, and the motion renders her white gown as long streaks of light against a dark brown ground. Her wide-brimmed hat catches the brightest light in the frame, with a ribbon trailing off it like a brushmark. The figure reads somewhere between a long-exposure and an old painting, with the darks built up the way varnished oils go dark.…

The work shows a fantastical garden where translucent, glass-like plants rise from textured ground in purple, green, coral, and magenta. Orbs and filament-like stems arch across a dark background, with light refracting through each form. The crystalline structures suggest a world where plant life takes on mineral qualities. This AI-generated artwork presents a speculative vision of botanical forms…

An AI-assisted abstract by Duncan Rawlinson, who works with artificial intelligence alongside his photography. Interlocking rings, loops, and rounded ribbon shapes pack into a dense cluster on a cream ground. The colors run saturated and warm: pinks, oranges, and yellows pushing against blues, greens, and a few near-black shapes that give the cluster its depth. Fine white contour lines track across several of the forms like engraving marks. A soft grain texture holds the whole surface together.…

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence, constructing a scene where thousands of green faceted spheres hang on taut cords, each strand blown horizontal by an unseen force. A red sphere tears through the field at speed, dragging a wake of disrupted beads and scattered cords along its entire path. The projectile has already punched a ragged hole through a standing screen of orange backed by deep blue at the right edge of the frame. Among the green strands, a single…

Duncan Rawlinson created this work using artificial intelligence to explore a ceramic rupture. A rigid green door-slab has blown free, releasing a thick red flow studded with intact yellow vessels. The torrent carries cups and bowls across the frame, their forms preserved mid-motion. One cup has landed rim-down in a cushion of deep violet, creating a pronounced dimple without shattering. Blue handles, orange chips, and white hairline cracks punctuate the textured surfaces. The piece combines…
