Custom FLUX.1-dev LoRA, fine-tuned on Arshile Gorky's own canvas work.

A LoRA (low-rank adaptation) is a compact set of trainable weights that sits on top of a much larger frozen base model. Instead of retraining FLUX.1-dev, the open-source 12-billion-parameter text-to-image transformer from Black Forest Labs, the LoRA only adjusts ~50 million new parameters using a small artist-specific dataset. The result keeps FLUX's general image-generation ability intact while teaching it one artist's visual language.

Pieces in this gallery are produced by a private FLUX.1-dev LoRA trained on 27 hand-curated reproductions from WikiArt catalog, drawn from his mature biomorphic abstractions (1940-1948) - fluid organic forms, thinned washes, and linear armatures that bridge Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. Images were auto-captioned by the trainer with the trigger word prepended, binding it to the artist's visual language rather than a generic style label.
