Warhol once said ‘Art is what you can get away with’, his obsession with pop culture and mechanical production highlighted throughout his work. Here his mechanical screen print in bold commercial colours of Micky mouse has been hand pixel painted and turned into a GIF allowing for a complete hue rotation of varying colour combinations, something a 2d form cannot allow. The use of GIF as a visual format that is often shared across the internet as a digital form of reproduction fitting for the iconic subject matter in this new era. Deconstructed into pixel art, we are left with a rare 1/1 NFT juxtaposed alongside a subject and format which is mass produced and often considered valueless.
‘Ideas alone can be works of art; they are a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical… The words of one artist to another may induce an idea chain, if they share the same concept.’ Sol LeWitt, 1969
With the emergence of NFT’s the art world has the opportunity to explore a new wealth of ideas. This body of work aims to explore further the ideas stemming from the conceptual art movement and the dematerialization of the art object stemming from the 70's. This body of NFT’s like the majority of my work aims to ask questions, in this instance regarding its own form as an NFT and its position as art, not necessarily to find answers, but to expand the debate and further develop the idea chain.
