Michael Dereza is a Toronto based artist exploring the intersection of geometric abstraction and algorithmic generation. With over three decades of practice, he investigates how digital structures reshare spatial perception, drawing on the legacies of Op Art and Systems Art.

 

His work treats the pixel as a unit of materiality, combining coded processes with meticulous manual post-processing to avoid the sterility of automated filters. Through series like Chromatic Vortex and Fractured Symmetry, Dereza creates vibrating visual fields that challenge stability and invite sustained viewing.

 

Represented by Singulart, Dereza's work bridges the precision of code with the nuance of painterly tradition.
