Special Edition SupremePunk #061 was inspired by artworks of Tworkow and CryptoPunk #8348. This Punk is created in memory of the 121th anniversary of great abstract painter Jack Tworkow. Jack Tworkow was an American abstract expressionist painter of Polish descent. He was born in Biała Podlaska, Russian Empire, and immigrated to the United States in 1913. He had intended to become a writer, but after seeing paintings by Cézanne and Matisse for the first time, which impressed him most, he decided to study art and enrolled at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League in New York. The works of these artists became the starting point for Tworkov's work. Both Matisse and Cézanne painted many of their works in the style of Fauvism, a style very close in characteristics to Expressionism. They are the most influential authors, with whom the role of subject and objectivity in paintings is reduced and pure colors dominate.

Over the course of his life, Tworkow taught at several universities, including Columbia University and Yale University, where he was chair of the Art Department. As chairman of the art department at Yale, Tworkow invited prominent artists to teach, including Al Held, Knox Martin, George Wardlow and Bernard Chet. Students of that era included Chuck Close, Jennifer Bartlett, Richard Serra, Nancy Graves, Rackstraw Downs and Bryce Marden. Tworkow is considered an important and influential artist, along with Mark Rothko, de Kooning, Philip Guston, Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock, whose gestural paintings of the early 1950s formed the basis of the Abstract Expressionist movement in America. The major works of this period are characterized by the use of gestural brushstrokes in colors reminiscent of flames. In the mid-1960s there was a transitional period in his work. Straight lines and geometric patterns characterize his later works. Tworkow died in 1982 in Provincetown, Massachusetts at the age of 82.

Who are the Fauvists? In 1905, many of the artists participating in the temporary autumn exhibition at the Salon de Paris, among them Henri Matisse and André Derain, were called "fauvists" (French for "wild") by critics. One of these critics wrote on this occasion: "They threw a can of paint in the public's face. And indeed, this group of artists used only pure and contrasting colors and rejected shadow as a matter of principle. They did not want to give the illusion of reality to their paintings, but rather wanted to get rid of this "falsity. Since 1908 the art of Matisse, Derain and other artists changed. Nevertheless, Fauvism remains one of the most brilliant expressions of Expressionism.

For this work we tried to make the quality of the image unprecedented and emphasize it by the choice of hues: a Byzantine palette of black and gold mixed with dark red streams, reminiscent of the red bolus under the gold leaf. Here we have deliberately broken the symmetry of the composition. On the right is the more massive composition. On the left is a thinner and more airy composition, but it is just as complete. Such a solution makes the whole composition more volumetric and "alive". It acquires dynamics and motion, which further emphasizes its symbolic meaning. From the point of view of physics, such composition has not only compositional, but also plastic solution. All the volumes are a single whole. Their arrangement is harmoniously thought out, and the figures themselves are quite clearly organized (in contrast to the symmetrical compositions in the Baroque style).

Later, Tworkov became acquainted with a group of the most influential abstract expressionists: Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. And as a result of this, his work combined two of the brightest styles in painting. That is why his work is neater than Kuning's, more substantial than Pollock's, and more aggressive than Rothko's.
