Scientists have proven that the chaotic splashes on the artist’s canvases obey the laws of physics and form fractal patterns.
Researchers have found a scientific explanation for the mysterious dripping technique used by American artist Jackson Pollock. At first glance, his canvases seem like chaotic splashes of paint, but modern analysis methods have proven that they conceal mathematical patterns and the physics of turbulence.
Using image recognition algorithms and paint experiments, scientists determined that Pollock intuitively created complex fractal structures. These patterns repeat at different scales, which makes the paintings appear harmonious and vibrant.
The discovery also makes it possible to trace the evolution of the artist’s technique and helps experts confirm the authenticity of his works. According to researchers, Pollock’s example demonstrates how art and science can intertwine to create unique cultural phenomena.
