These are a series of images that I created using basic vector shapes then wrote a Photoshop script that samples a reference image and applies a color gradient to those shape layers.
 
Theses first three images I created a series of random rectangles the height of the image, then sampled a base layer and applied a gradient based on the top, middle and bottom of the reference image.  The other images, I created various shapes then sampled a reference image to add the gradient, and in some to change different types of shapes or to determine the size of the shapes.
The following three images were created by randomly placing random sized rectangles via a script, then applying a gradient based on the left, middle, and right sides of there the random rectangles were in relation to the base image.  The image of the horse, I added random circular gradients also. 
Self Portrait #NewCreatives
This last image, I created a series of custom shapes then applied them to an image based on the tonal value of the reference image, so darker areas would get a smaller shape.  I also applied a gradient based the the shapes location to the reference image.
