Guilloché Cannelé Black

At first glance, the composition echoes the guilloché pattern, with its precise and concentric circles. Viewed up close, the fluted details of decreasing intensity reveal a more organic vibration, where each wave turns into matter.

In this black version, the lines take on an almost mineral density. Ink gathers at the centre, while light glides over the ridges before fading gently toward the edges.

A contemporary interpretation by Swiss artist Jérôme Gautier.

Description

Jérôme Gautier is a Swiss designer and artist whose work explores the line as a raw material. Trained in New Media Design and Parametric Design at the Berlin University of the Arts, he designs or adapts his own tools, both software and hardware, to create systems inspired by the patterns of nature. These systems generate motifs, drawn with or without ink, where the search for micro-variations makes each piece both unique and essential.

His work stands at the intersection of tradition and innovation. Through code, generative design, and pen-plotter drawing, he reinterprets ancient decorative techniques with a contemporary sensibility. His mechanical drawings are meditations on time and repetition: each line, drawn slowly, replays the same gesture, seeking variation within constancy.

Ink, paper, and repetition become a language, a visible form of time, oscillating between control and chance.
