The Artsy Kappa

Macoto Murayama’s Inorganic Flora exhibit blends science with art in an attempt to explore the inherent duality of flowers. Murayama explains that, along with their organic nature, “a plant possesses a contradictory element of geometric/mechanical structure”. He portrays this by using two distinct methods of illustration. One, called “Botech Art”, is an artistically 3D rendered image that highlights the flower’s geometrical beauty and stunning colors. The other, “Botanical Diagram”, resembles a technical diagram that depicts the flower’s mathematical structure.
