Noodlz builds on ideas I began exploring in Fontana and Velum—specifically, how to represent advancing and receding pictorial space and dynamic movement, using statically drawn graphic elements. In contrast to this spatial push and pull I add the application of algorithmically worn surfaces and aged colors. These two devices aim to create a tension between instantaneous 3D dynamism and a 2D canvas that indicates a slow, subtle process of attrition. The resulting juxtaposition is characterized by a pictorial space that’s simultaneously punchy, fun and explosive with a rendering that’s very flat, measured and methodical. A paradoxical expression that aims to feel both of-our-time and digitally native but simultaneously time honored and nostalgic.
chatFUKR is a playfully transgressive Ordinals collection at the intersection of PFP degen culture, contemporary fine art, and generative artistry. The collection both mocks and embraces degeneracy, taking an innovative fully generative approach to representing the memes and symbols of the contemporary crypto art movement and PFP collecting culture.
