Zancan, a generative artist hailing from Bordeaux, France, has dabbled in both painting and programming. By combining his skills as a traditional oil painter with his expertise in computer coding, he has created a unique style of “figurative-generative” art that pushes the boundaries of graphic expression.
(About the artist)
Zancan draws inspiration from his digital artworks and pen-plotter drawings, which not only rely on technology for their creation and exchange but also serve as a reminder of the crucial connection between humanity and the environment. Through visual symbolism, Zancan aims to raise awareness about pressing environmental and social issues. His acclaimed collections “Garden, Monoliths” and “The Lushtemples” are centered around using mathematical equations and programming code to recreate natural forms, and have achieved great success as top-selling works on the Tezos blockchain.
Zancan, an artist with a background in both disciplines, pushes the boundaries of artistic expression by employing cutting-edge technology alongside time-honored techniques.
In this exhibition, Zancan’s unique approach to art bridges the gap between his passion for traditional oil painting and his expertise in programming. He embraces the world of NFTs and plotter art, creating visually stunning and emotionally evocative works that redefine the possibilities of artistic expression. By integrating code as a pure medium, Zancan draws upon his experience in both creative coding and the demoscene of the 90s to produce generative art that resonates with collectors and enthusiasts alike.
“Organic Matr” showcases Zancan’s commitment to embracing the potential of generative art and AI while also acknowledging the challenges it
poses to the art world. The exhibition highlights his deep-rooted fascination with technology and its impact on the artistic landscape. Despite the uncertainty and fears surrounding AI’s implications, Zancan remains an advocate for its integration and the profound transformation it brings to the creative process.
This groundbreaking exhibition is a testament to Zancan’s ability to adapt and innovate, offering a glimpse into the future of art at the intersection of technology and tradition. By blending the tangible and the digital, ORGANIC MATR immerses the viewer in an extraordinary journey through the evolution of artistic expression, and invites them to contemplate the potential of generative art in shaping the creative landscape of tomorrow.
The humanized appearance of his works challenges the conventional divide between traditional and digital art, inviting the viewer to experience the seamless fusion of these two worlds. Through this partnership, Zancan adapts his code and graphics to the constraints of Artmatr’s technology, constantly evolving and refining his artistic process.

Artmatr is an art+tech company that uses custom built technologies to unleash artists’ creative potential, enabling them to move back and forth between the digital and physical world. We do this through MATRing, a creative process of transforming digital files into unique physical art . Unlike printing that aims to mimic a source file, MATRing applies cutting-edge robotics, imaging, AI and painting technologies to enable artists to reimagine, combine, and transform their work from a variety of digital to physical mediums.
“At Artmatr, we help artists expand their imaginations by expanding their creative toolkit.”
