SupremePunk #021
Ruined inside
This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #5923 and artworks of Suetin. SupremePunk #021 focuses on the consequences of two current evils of today - harassment and drug addiction.
Berthold Woltze — The Irritating Gentleman, 1864
Today, harassment is defined as an act that violates personal boundaries and involves psychological pressure. The victim is humiliated, suppressed and is used to achieve one's goals in an obviously discriminatory environment. As a result, they experience stress, high levels of anxiety, restlessness and inner conflict. This is reflected in a painting (which also inspired the punk authors) by Berthold Woltze "The Annoying Gentleman". The little girl who is accosted by the man on the train is one of the prototypes of SupremePunk #021. She is visibly frightened and uncomfortable, while the man smiles arrogantly and clearly enjoys the process.
Artemisia Gentileschi — Susanna and the Elders, 1610
The second picture that inspired us is painted by the victim of harassment - Artemisia Gentileschi. In her painting "Susanna and the Elders"
Susanna (the author's prototype) was spied on by two Jewish elders. Threatening to accuse her of adultery, they force her to have sex. She refuses
she is sentenced to death. At the last moment she is saved by the prophet Daniel. The author of the painting was raped as a young woman. The disconnected elements of SupremePunk #021 refer to the internal discomfort of harassment and the suppression of that discomfort for fear of venting sincere emotions.
Most often, harassment is seen in terms of sexual harassment and the victims are girls. But recently, researchers have been paying attention to religious, ethnic and lifestyle-related comments. In these cases the victim can be a person of any gender. Punk's combination of several colours, as well as his genderlessness, indicates that anyone can become a victim of harassment.
A self-portrait in a sober state
a self-portrait under the effect of cocaine
a self-portrait under the effect of morphine
a self-portrait under the effect of crystal meth
a self-portrait under the effect of xanax
We have tried to reflect the fear and madness of the Punk, while maintaining the colour palette. We see the author losing his human face under the influence of drugs, turning into a monster. By comparing a self-portrait in a sober state we can see how much drugs affect our appearance and consciousness. The addict degrades and completely loses his personal freedom. As in the case of harassment, anyone can be a victim of drugs. The disjointed structure of Punk indicates the loss of personality and all human qualities of the addict. To the right of SupremePunk, in a supremacist style, some of the ways of using drugs are depicted, namely smoking, needle sticking and taking pills.
