Tres-Dimensiva Visum
This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #8125 and the work of Walter Dan, a modern German artist, photographer and sculptor. He studied at the Dusseldorf Academy of Arts under the guidance of Joseph Beuys, and has repeatedly participated in various exhibitions where his drawings, photographs and videos were presented. Walter Dan is a prominent representative of the "New Wild" movement. His works are characterized by symbolism, the use of aggressive gestures, and a fascination with the so-called "external art". Throughout his practice, the artist regularly brings punk images to his work.
Walter Dan — Asma I, 1982
One of the references for the SupemePunk was Dan's painting "Asma I". In this picture, techniques typical of the representatives of the "New Wild" movement of the 1970s are used. They show radical conceptual and formal openness, humorously playful deconstruction of the norms of art. The ironic mixing of opposites testifies to Dan's unusual artistic instinct and his internal contradictions. SupremePunk shows a deconstructive image created with the help of color planes that interact with each other. We see geometric shapes that regress and fall apart. The color scheme of the picture is tense and frightening. The central element of the painting is inscribed in a bloody circle, which, like a new moon, illuminates with a red haze and creates the overall mood of the painting.
Walter Dan — Acid House, 1988
The composition on the SupremePunk falls apart, which symbolizes impermanence and confusion. Walter Dan uses the image of decay in his work "Acid House". The collage called "Acid House" (Essig House) shows another facet of Dan's talent. He was not only an artist, but also a good musician, so he was interested in the possibilities that arose from the combination of music and fine art. The concept of Acid House refers to music. It stands for one of the variants of "techno", a style of electronic music with extremely rigid and stereotypical rhythms. In the title of the work, the consonance of the English word "acid" (acid) and the German "essid" (vinegar) is played out. In the left part of the picture, a pattern of pieces of newspaper and pictograms is repeated, applied to the base by silkscreen printing. The "smile" sign symbolizes young techno fans. This emblem is found on ecstasy and LSD pills, which are used by many fans of the dance style.The right part of the canvas is occupied by the repeated repetition of a fragment on which the hand is visible. Randomly placed on top of each other, these fragments create the impression of a dancing crowd and resemble lighting effects at raves.
Jean-Yves Langlois — Untitled, 1981
Also in his work, the French artist Jean-Yves Langlois explored the interaction of man and his sense of self. Langlois initially and consciously uses stylistic eclecticism and a wide variety of materials, in particular, introduces elements of metal engraving into the picturesque surface. The demonstrative inclusion of the engraving in the chromatic surface is probably due to the artist's desire to express the impulse to return to the origins of art. He liked to remind that the carved drawing appeared long before painting, during the Paleolithic, with a chisel on a stone or on a wall. The composition "Untitled" is performed in a complex mixed technique. Their elements of free biomorphic pictorial abstraction are figures created with the help of printed graphics. The artist cultivates deliberate improvisation, which gives unexpected plastic coded effects, revealing, as the master believes, the subconscious impulses of art.
