A. Optimism is a nod to Frank Lloyd Wright and an essay that he wrote in which he speaks about color in terms of optimistic tones. His description of color as…
8/ Grasser's journey into the fine-art world is fueled by a lifelong connection with typography and deep appreciation for letterforms, words, and sentences, which he also views as a medium for art.
@martingrasser
The two latest collections for our Craft Nouveau series show off the creative power that exists at the merging of modern artistic technology and centuries of hand-crafted tradition.
"Optimism" by Jeff Davis
"Portraits" by Martin Grasser
Enlace, as with our other Craft Nouveau collections, aims to intertwine new and old, to find a harmony between algorithmic art and traditional craft.
Why is this important?
Read the story behind Enlace 🧵
💡The beautiful Venetian mirrors that compose
@martingrasser
's "Portraits" collection were hand cut, hand colored, and hand finished by experienced artisans at Arte Veneziana in Venice, Italy.
Even the beveled edge of each piece is reflective and finished to perfection.
2/ Like Navette by
@Mactuitui
, the collection that launched Craft Nouveau, these new artistic expressions showcase the extraordinary possibilities that
@trameparis
is nurturing at the intersection of generative art and traditional craft.

3/ Davis
@jeffgdavis
and Grasser
@martingrasser
are both generative artists with formal training in art and design who have arrived at their unique but complementary collection concepts through very different paths:
4/ Optimism by
@jeffgdavis
, in the timeless medium of stained glass, highlights the artist’s love of color and appreciation for formal foundations of art such as geometric structure and proportion.
In
@martingrasser
's "Portraits" collection, the viewer is invited to think about the meaning of a portrait by way of interacting with one's reflection. Simultaneously, the mirror is a reflection of coded language—phrases expressed in an arrangement of shapes and colors.
Part of the beauty of merging generative algorithms with traditional craft is that it highlights their complementary aspects and extends a thread of continuity from past into future.
The Enlace collection by
@arandalasch
, created in partnership with
@brtmoments
@ArtBlocksEngine
5/ Central to GENERATIVE INTERIORS is our Craft Nouveau limited-edition artist series that merges algorithmic code with traditional craft, creating digital-to-physical artworks at the forefront of contemporary culture and technology.
@ArtBlocksEngine
3/ We do so by moving away from the conventional notion of static interiors and embracing a living, breathing design philosophy.
GENERATIVE INTERIORS represents an ever-changing, interactive, and personalized experience for individuals within the space.
5/ Long inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, who described colors as “optimistic tones,” Davis
@jeffgdavis
seeks to inspire joy through the colorful panes of glass that playfully interact with light to cast and reinterpret the beauty of the original.
2/
@jeffgdavis
's stained glass and
@martingrasser
's mirrored artworks were a triumphant display of the fusion of traditional craft and cutting edge artistry.
11/ We look forward to their opening debut during TRAME’s Art Basel Miami exhibit titled “RIFLESSI” at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens on December 4.
Art collectors: DM us for details!
4/9 The collaboration between TRAME and CPG goes back to Feb 2023 when we united for “Craft Nouveau”—a project with artist and technologist Alexis André
