These little creeps have been haunting me and you for a while... Is this a trap and I'm becoming a part of mass culture? Or have I always been a derivative of it... This is my attempt to think about the direction in which popular culture is heading and to reconcile with the inevitability of me joining a procession in one form or another.

Olive Allen is a New York-based visual artist. She is a pioneer of the crypto art movement, and has been creating in the NFTs space since its inception in 2018. Her art, sardonic in nature, explores current cultural shifts through deeply personal experience. Allen’s paintings were exhibited at several group shows in New York and Los Angeles. She believes that an artist has to be driven by the urgency of modern life, reflect and comment on the current state of affairs in the world while engaging the audience.
