Examples of tessellations in art

I will expand this list as more artists emerge and appear in my sphere. It is in no specific order, other than our Master-Tessellation artist, Escher, at the top of the list. Still other artists push the boundaries and explore off-spurs, into fractals, circle limits, non-repeating planes, animation, metamorphosis, pentagonal rules, morphing shapes, platonic solid tessellations, architecture, art shows, consumer products… As for me, I stive to achieve fluid line tessellations, with a few bent symmetry rules, and mostly humorous stories attached to the characters I create.īelow is a list of tessellation artists from around the globe, with a link to their web presence. Others can’t get enough and create constantly in this art form.

Some show a passing interest, yet still create with a very deep understanding of the rules of symmetry. Escher started popularizing “nested shape” tessellations, many artist have dabbled in the field.
