Low Language explores structure, repetition, and randomness through a visual language rooted in layering, grids, and typography. Each composition is based on a simple grid. A pattern assigns form to the cells, determining which ones are filled. Numbers take the place of those cells based on that logic. Over this, grids and geometric forms are layered in varying densities, breaking the uniformity of the base layer.

Repeating numbers form the foundation of each image. Treated less as data and more as texture, they create a mechanical but irregular fill pattern that gives each composition a distinct visual weight.

The collection is meant to strike a balance between digital precision and analog imperfection. The approach to layering comes from a visual language I’ve developed over years of working with different tools. It’s a way I’ve found to build complex, visually engaging images from simple forms.

Ricky Retouch is an artist who specializes in graphic design, VFX, generative art, and motion design often utilizing procedural tools. He minted his first collection in 2022. He shares his work across multiple platforms, including X(formerly known as Twitter) and Instagram.
