I often see artists in galleries making slight variations of the same work over the years 🖼 There are exceptions, but this pattern feels common. It’s surprising—it contradicts the idea I have of an artist who constantly seeks to create new things 🔄. Is it the artist’s choice? A commercial strategy? Or is it necessary to secure sales in galleries? 💸🤔

This is interesting to me as well. I have a friend who is a painter. She started painting pictures of cows at one point as a way to improve her technique. People bought the paintings. She has insisted ever since that she cannot paint anything other than cows (for sale) because… it’s required for the artist to be consistent? I never bought that line, though. Seems wrong to me. I know some artists just use the same algorithm over and over again and they make a fortune that way. I find it boring, personally. I think it’s fine to stick with a style, especially if you have a reason. But just using the same algorithm every time doesn’t make sense to me. It doesn’t seem particularly creative.

This doesn’t seem that common in generative art, anyway, as far as I can tell. Using the same algorithm every time, that is. Some people stick to the same *type* of thing, like pixel art or cellular automata or particle systems. But that seems to fit more in “style” since there’s such a large design space for each of those.
