Statement
A new method by using Structural Cloning Method (SCM) and Leaping Iterated Function System (LIFS) to explore abstractor and landscape painting are presented in these artworks. SCM is a visual interface to define different combinations of geometry transformations and LIFS is an improved version of Iterated Function System (IFS) within SCM. Instead of exponential growing loading while iterating; LIFS takes only constant computing resources. From the viewpoint of visual design, SCM and LIFS together build a bridge between mathematic and aesthetic, and they then make fractals and landscape paintings more tractable. However, it is much more challenge to convey a natural feeling in such a painting without the feeling of mathematics.
