Peaceful Perception
This Punk is inspired by the CryptoPunk #4075 and the work of Gustav Klimt and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Gustav Klimt — The Kiss, 1909
From a representative of Viennese Art Nouveau, this SupremePunk adopted the geometric nature of the depicted and the color palette found in Gustav Klimt's "Golden Period". Klimt's most famous canvases seem to be woven from figures, whether they are rectangles, circles or triangles. As a rule, with their help, the artist created the background and attire of the depicted characters, which is very noticeable in the epoch-making "Kiss" and the equally famous portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. But in SupremePunk, golden rectangles do not form a background — it seems to be absent at all. They form a shock of Punk's hair, emphasizing the dark skin and emerald eyes of the hero.
Jean-Michel Basquiat — Untitled, 1982
As for the similarity of Punk to the paintings of Jean-Michel Basquiat, here, first of all, rough, sharp lines are noticeable, forming the contour of a face that looks more like a skull. This creates a sense of the impetuosity of creating an image close to a sketch. Aggressively superimposed large quadrangles forming the face of Punk, together with small, neatly arranged locks of hair create a sense of harmony in contrast.
The absence of a detailed background contributes to a peaceful perception of this SupremePunk. The hero seemed to be able to escape from all the problems and surrounded himself with a serene emptiness, which many creators of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries aspired to.
Alphonse Osbert — Soir antique, 1908
Escapism can be felt in the works of the symbolist Alphonse Osber, for example, in the "Evening of Antiquity", where the artist depicted the idyll of antiquity, to which he would so like to return. The landscape, against which four girls are depicted, is almost as empty as in Punk. And this empty, clear sunset sky creates a mood of dreamy detachment from reality with its burdensome problems.
Mikalojus Čiurlionis — Stellar Sonata, 1908
Escapism was also reflected in the musical creativity of the turn of the century. It is possible to consider the work of the Lithuanian artist Mikalojus Ciurlenis, who often wrote organ music, which was most popular in the XVI-XVII centuries, created melodies on invented motifs — for example, "The Tale of Kings". In addition, he created symbolist paintings, some of which he called "Sonatas", where Churlenis visualized music, its tempo, and the main themes.
Richard Hamilton — Fashion Plate, 1970
The figures superimposed on each other also create the impression of a collage, accentuated by the absence of a background. The author seems to have cut and pasted the figures on cardboard. Because of this, SupremePunk resembles the work of Richard Hamilton, who uses the collage technique to create a full-fledged image of a person using the details of the appearance of different people. In addition, through collage, he created rooms on paper and experimented with photography and the transformation of recognized works of art, where he tried to combine the incongruous, which was common among artists of the XX century.
