Contextual Colour Project

Weekly task - Using the Crystalise Photoshop filter at differing cell sizes to get an abstract representation of the colour map of a photo. The top 2 are the view from the entrance to my apartment building, the first at the largest 300 cell size and the right hand at 92 cell size. The bottom left is a sunset and the righthand is looking up at spring apple blossom under a tree.

Personally, I am more partial to the pieces with larger cell sizes, as I find the outcome more aesthetically refined and conceptual in their depiction of form and colour. The more detailed images look like low-quality pixilated images to me and less like abstract artistic renditions. I can also easily picture the larger-celled images as hard-edge paintings. They also include a more refined colour pallet and are in my opinion therefore a more core representation of the image, unlike the smaller-celled pieces which seem to be jumbled.
