This example recreates Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings using layered SVG masks and rotating stripes. Alternating purple and dark-purple horizontal and vertical bands are clipped to two complementary circular masks, producing a crossing pattern inside a central ring while the outer area remains solid. The horizontal bands rotate continuously via CSS keyframe animations. The code builds all elements dynamically with vanilla JavaScript, using the SVG `mask`, `rect`, and `circle` APIs without any external libraries.

Sol LeWitt

This visualization recreates Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings using overlapping horizontal and vertical striped bands. A central circular mask reveals the intersection of both patterns, while the surrounding areas remain blank. The code builds SVG elements manually with `createElementNS`, applying two separate circle-based masks to clip groups of thin rectangles. No external libraries are used; rendering relies entirely on raw SVG masks and rect primitives at a fixed 100-line count per direction.

Sol LeWitt

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt drawing using SVG. It renders a grid of horizontal and vertical stripes, with a circular mask creating the illusion of layered bands across the canvas. The stripes are generated programmatically in JavaScript, using `document.createElementNS` to build SVG `rect` elements. Two complementary masks (`circle-mask` and `circle-mask-2`) alternate which stripe orientation is visible, producing a clean geometric composition that adapts to the full browser window size.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction Final

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using pure JavaScript and SVG APIs. It shows a grid of horizontal and vertical striped rectangles overlaid with two circular masks, creating a composition of intersecting lines that fade into a central circle. The code builds SVG elements dynamically via `document.createElementNS`, applying a black-to-white mask and an inverted white-to-black mask to reveal alternating line directions. One hundred horizontal strips and one hundred vertical strips are generated in loops, with the masks controlling visibility to form the final geometric pattern.

Sol LeWitt Exercise with JS

An SVG built with vanilla JavaScript recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired wall drawing by layering two sets of 100 striped rectangles. Horizontal and vertical black bars cross the full viewport, but a pair of circular masks restricts visibility: one mask shows only the horizontal stripes inside a 200-pixel circle, while the second reveals vertical stripes outside that same radius. The result is a clean, conceptual grid where the two orientations visually swap at the circle's boundary, using the SVG `mask` element and dynamic element creation via `document.createElementNS`.

Sol lewitt reproduction

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using layered SVG masks and repeated geometric stripes. The viewport is split into quadrants where horizontal black bars fill a large circular mask, vertical bars occupy two white quadrants around a smaller inner circle, and diagonal lines (incomplete in the code) would structure the remaining spaces. Rendered entirely with vanilla JavaScript and the SVG DOM API, it creates the illusion of intersecting line patterns within nested circular and rectangular boundaries. The approach relies on programmatic construction of SVG elements, with masks defining visible regions for each stripe direction, mimicking LeWitt’s algorithmic instructions.

Sol Lewitt Variante

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired wall drawing as an interactive SVG visualization. The artwork shows a grid of thin horizontal and vertical lines that are visible only within two overlapping circular masks, creating a crosshatched pattern inside the circles against a blank background. The code uses plain JavaScript with the SVG DOM API, creating mask elements and hundreds of rect primitives programmatically. A black-filled mask with a white circle reveals the horizontal lines, while an inverted mask with a black circle reveals the vertical lines, demonstrating a simple yet effective clipping technique.

Sol LeWitt

This example reproduces Sol LeWitt’s geometric art using an SVG rendering approach. It displays a grid of horizontal and vertical stripes, but only within a circular region at the center of the screen. The code creates SVG masks, specifically `circle-mask` and `circle-mask2`, to clip two sets of 100 rectangle elements. The first set uses a white-on-black mask for horizontal stripes, while the second uses a black-on-white mask for vertical stripes, producing a clean, intersecting pattern. The canvas automatically scales to the full window dimensions.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction Vertical

This example reproduces Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawing style by generating a grid of horizontal and vertical black stripes on a white background. A circular mask in the center of the SVG reveals only the stripes inside the circle, while a second inverted mask applies to the vertical lines, creating a layered crosshatch effect. The code uses raw SVG elements created via the DOM API (`document.createElementNS`), with two mask definitions (`<mask>` and `<mask2>`) to control visibility. The rendering is entirely procedural, with 100 rectangles in each direction, and no external data source or library beyond vanilla JavaScript and SVG.
