Geometric ideas of the style
This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #6458 and artworks of Kliun. The base of the SupremePunk #018 is inspired by Kliun's painting "The Watcher". This painting combines geometric shapes and the same colour scheme used in Brutalism. You can see the likeness of a face in the painting, which in the case of our punk means the collective image of all buildings in the style of brutalism. Around the face you can see a clock, which is reflected on the bottom right in the Punk. It symbolises the change in the world's architecture over time and under the pressure of new challenges (in our case related to post-war demolitions). The clock itself on the SupremePunk #018 is stylised with the influence of another Kliun painting which is presented in the gallery.
Hotel Forum in Krakow, Poland
This SupremePunk is inspired by the architectural style that emerged in the fifties as a response to the post-war challenge - brutalism. First of all, brutalism is about honest, raw materials, no paint and no plaster. The term, in fact, came from the French phrase "béton brut" (untreated concrete). The effect superimposed on the punk and the general background gives it a kind of rough and tattered style that corresponds to the origin of the name of the style and the general appearance of brutalistic buildings. The many shades of gray that make up the color scheme of the Punk refer to the main material of brutalist buildings – concrete. The arrangement of SupremePunk's elements in a kind of progression (overlapping of similarly shaped elements) as Hotel Forum in Krakow and their rectangularity correspond to the geometric ideas of the style.
Panorama Resort, Slovakia
Brutalism is a style whose features do not have to be explained to a person born in the territories of the former socialist camp. Walk around the city and you are sure to find a couple of canonical buildings. The hallmarks are these: raw concrete, large geometric shapes (Punk's construction of large rectangles is just about that), often public buildings (academic buildings of universities, research institutes, city halls, museums, TV towers, and sometimes even playgrounds and monuments), round windows carved in concrete, rhythmic balconies folding into a rigid concrete spine against the sky, passages and galleries that only seem confusing at the first glance, but, in fact, form a coherent system. The simplicity of punk's geometry exactly reflects the essence of brutalism - to construct practical buildings for quick recovery after the war.
