This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #2306 and the works of Kazimir Malevich.

If we consider the technique of Ripka, then we can call the rectilinear red-green stripes an ordered version of the work of Nadia Leger, the wife of Fernand Leger. Her abstract compositions are similar to SupremePunk in terms of color palette and shapes, but her figures are much more concentrated. It seems that rectangular horizontals have clung in a fight with vertical planes, triangles and circles. In Punk, in turn, the arrangement of the figures is more discharged and harmonious.

In general, this Punk creates an ambiguous impression: on the one hand, you can distinguish a person's face — his eyes, nose, mouth, a cigarette sticking out of it

Black stripes instead of a nose and black dots-eyes resemble dark cavities of the skull. Together with a lit cigarette, this image refers to the canvas of Van Gogh. "The Skull with a burning cigarette— is an author's reworking of the baroque genre Vanitas, which was popular in the XVI-XVII centuries.

Such paintings were the forerunners of still life and symbolically depicted the oppressive thoughts of the human essence: the inevitability of death, the abundance of sins and the fall during life. In this regard, it seems remarkable that there is no date of creation of the painting on canvas: the image depicted by the artist is timeless and will not change dramatically either in the XVI, XIX, or XXI century.

In addition, this work can be perceived as a mockery of Vincent Van Gogh over the postulates of academic painting, because of which artists are forced to learn the structure of the human skull and skeleton. Van Gogh did not understand why this waste of time, if he wanted to paint living people, picturesque landscapes and fascinating still lifes, and not soulless bones. It turns out that in this work the artist also reflected his opinion about the meaninglessness of the rules of human reality.

Does it make sense to work and create something? Won't we leave behind a handful of ashes and a couple of carved letters on a marble slab? Why all this effort? The author of SupremePunk leaves the audience alone with these questions.
