Michaël Zancan

Michaël Zancan is a generative artist based in Bordeaux, France, who has worked as a painter and programmer for four decades. By synergizing his former practice as an oil painter with the medium of computer code, he enlightens the graphical potential of generative art. His digital artworks and their resultant pen-plotter drawings, which rely on technology to exist and to be traded, remind us of the necessary bond between mankind and nature. Zancan’s series, Garden, Monoliths (2021) and Lushtemples (2022), are the top-selling collections on Tezos, a carbon-efficient blockchain.
