Day Gardens: Tyler Hobbs’ newest series

We're excited to announce Tyler Hobbs' latest series, Day Gardens, premiering at Art Meta's Digital Art Mile in partnership with laCollection.

Day Gardens is a meditative body of work that explores the relationship between form, composition and texture. The algorithm crafted by Hobbs allowed him to discover arrangements that feel intentional and unexpected. The compositions range from stable and centered to subtly off-balance in ways that surprise yet feel purposeful and painterly.

From Garden to Algorithm

The palette of warm creams, muted pinks, and subtle grays emerges from observations in Hobbs' physical garden, where he discovered the parallels between coding and cultivation. Both practices involve setting parameters, nurturing growth, and embracing unpredictability as part of the creative process.

From thousands of algorithmic outputs, Hobbs undertook meticulous curation—mimicking a gardener choosing which seedlings to keep, tending to the algorithm's potential.

Drawing from Diebenkorn and Ando

Drawing from Richard Diebenkorn's Ocean Park series, Ellsworth Kelly's formal clarity, and the spatial sensitivity of Tadao Ando's architecture, Hobbs transforms geometry from rigid structure into atmospheric language. He prioritizes composition and texture over complexity.

Like Tadao Ando's polished concrete surfaces, the grey tones function not as neutral backgrounds but as active participants. With such minimal structure, texture and color carry increased weight; slight shifts in tone or surface detail become central to the viewing experience.

Digital and Physical Forms

Day Gardens consists of 50 unique outputs. Half remain digital-only, while half include textured ink prints mounted on hand-stained wood panels measuring
24 x 30 x 2 inches (61 x 76 x 5 cm). The irregular wood grain offers a subtle counterpoint to the digital precision of the algorithm, grounding virtual forms in the analog world.

Tyler Hobbs & Matt DesLauriers in Conversation
Order/Disorder Book Signing

Join Tyler Hobbs in conversation with Matt DesLauriers at Unit London for an Order/Disorder book signing.

The evening will feature the two artists exploring their creative processes and generative art, followed by a signing of Hobbs' debut monograph, Order/Disorder.

Limited copies of both the Collector's Edition and Trade Edition will be available for purchase on site.

 RSVPS encouraged, but not required.

Harbor Scene #1 (after John Henry Twachtman) acquired by Los Angeles County Museum of Art

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has acquired Harbor Scene #1 (after John Henry Twachtman) along with its commemorative folio created for the "Remembrance of Things Future" initiative.

This collaborative project between LACMA and Cactoid Labs invited artists to engage with works from the museum's permanent collection, creating a dialogue between traditional and digital art forms.

Harbor Scene #1 (after John Henry Twachtman) represents Hobbs' response to Twachtman's original "Harbor Scene," reimagining the American Impressionist's gestural and unfinished qualities through computational processes. Hobbs' work preserves the freedom and looseness of Twachtman's brushwork while expanding it into new artistic territory.

The acquisition includes one of the commemorative folios, which contains prints of the Harbor Scene series, Twachtman's original painting, the algorithm's source code, an essay and quote by Hobbs, a photograph of the artist's childhood sailboat, a Certificate of Authenticity, and an NCF chip enabling on-chain registration of the physical work.

Upcoming Exhibition:
Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms

The Studio is honored to announce our participation in the Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art, curated by Julia Kaganskiy.

The exhibition explores the history and evolution of generative art, emphasizing its foundational role before AI-generated imagery.

Broken into four distinct sections, the exhibition will introduce audiences to generative art with the work of Vera Molnár, establishing its connection to other 20^th century avant-garde movements. From there, viewers will learn about the role of randomness in generative systems, how artists leverage the material properties of digital media and computation for their art-making, and how these processes and models can be utilized to provide a new lens on the natural world.

Participating artists include: Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Max Bill, Dmitri Cherniak, Sofia Crespo, Deafbeef, Entangled Others, Tyler Hobbs, Larva Labs, Sol LeWitt, Zach Lieberman, LoVid, William Mapan, Sarah Meyohas, Vera Molnár, Operator, Quayola, Sam Spratt, Snowfro, Casey Reas, Anna Ridler, Monica Rizzoli, Jared Tarbell, and Emily Xie.

The installation includes several notable Fidenza works and a QQL Generation Station where visitors can create and view their own algorithmic art. As algorithms increasingly shape our world, Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms offers a thoughtful look at how artists have long collaborated with systems. Opening July 12, 2025 and running through November 30, 2025.
