This SupremePunk is inspired by CryptoPunk #1649 the legacy of African pictorial culture and the work of the representatives of synthetic cubism. The parallels between this work and African applied art are almost unconsciously drawn by the viewer - the color scheme chosen by the author of this Punk and the primitive stripe patterns contribute to this. In addition, the rough and thick contours are reminiscent of African masks, such as the Congolese. Masks, as an attribute of life of African peoples, are very versatile: they are used in funeral rites, during festivities, to exorcise unclean powers, to conduct hunting rituals. Because of the difficulty of working with the materials from which the masks are made, they look very primitive. The human face is simplified and geometrized.

Sophisticated viewers looking at this Punk may be reminded of the architecture of the South African Ndebele people. They are known for their unique colorful geometric design of house facades, which appeared in the 18th century. It is important to note that their culture of house painting is not extinct, but continues to exist, taking more and more distinctive forms.

For example, the people developed a new style, they began to use stronger materials, which contributes to the durability of their buildings. Moreover, the colors on the facade of the house are one of the means of communication for the people: patterns and colors can translate the social status of the homeowner, notify about marriage, express protest. The most important to the people are the pink patterns, which are present on the facade of every house.

The juxtaposition of African art and the Cubists in the associative series is quite logical: Cubism itself was inspired by the art of Africa, which in turn influenced both Cézanne and the Primitivists - the forerunners of Cubism. As a concrete example which allows us to understand the similarities between this and the Cubist works, we can cite the painting "Three Musicians" by Pablo Picasso, which exists in two versions: in the Museum of Modern Art and in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Despite the fact that the canvas depicts the characters of Commedia dell'arte, an Italian folk theater that existed in the 16th-18th centuries, their manner of depiction is very close to the technique of the author of this SupremePunk: broken lines, unambiguous color solutions, the emphasis on the eyes. Only in Picasso's canvas characters look hollow, soulless, hidden behind masks. In SupremePunk, on the other hand, they appear to be decorative, dynamic decorations that take their place in the center of the composition of the work.
