With his first NFT collection, the artist is already telling us “Pardon”.The collection is made of 6 huge acrylic paintings (2m x 2m) on kraft paper that were numerized.

The 6 paintings were then hung on the quai de Seine, in a tunnel linking the Louvre Museum to the Hôtel de Ville where they will remain until they are destroyed or censored. As pure Street-Art pieces, they are now ephemeral and they will live eternally as NFT on the Ethereum blockchain.

In line with the artist’s universe, the collection addresses 3 conspiracy theories, a theme the artist feels appropriate for his first NFT project as the internet is the first vector for spreading these theories. The first one refers to the myths that appeared during the yellow vest riots & protests in France. Some people have been conveying ideas that the devil played a role in the election of Emmanuel Macron because of his final score of 66.6%. The second refers to the dark theme of the secret societies and the popular belief that elite groups gather to rule the world and perform satanic rituals. This is a direct reference to the pizza gate in the US, the kind of story that so many people believe in, an illustration for Pardon of how dark the world can be. The final theme relates to U.F.O. and his fascination for crop circles. This was a very big topic for Pardon in the past years and he actually was so much into digging these stories that he found himself at a stage where he couldn’t really tell the difference between reality and fiction, torn apart between a kind of hope that it would be true and his rational self knowing the mythical dimension of these stories. For Pardon, this collection is about questioning ourselves on how these stories appear and why we as humans feel attracted to such forms of darkness & violence.
