Description

GAWD’S 320th release is a very special collector’s edition airdropped as a thank you to the wallets of everyone who has supported the artist this past year. Modeled off the graffiti of the 2008 Athens, Greece riots, this sardonic greeting celebrates the holidays, drawing attention to our dystopian reality while encouraging us to face the future with resolve, courage, and collective strength. 1800x2700 (2:3), 8 bit, 96 dpi, GIF file, 29.3 MB This limited edition NFT is the only original artwork, minted exclusively on the Tezos blockchain using the Objkt platform. © Copyright GAWD, 2024. All Rights Reserved. Future analog print editions may be made available at the artist’s discretion. Any trademarks are the property of their respective owners and their appearance does not imply endorsement. _______ GAWD grew up influenced by the artwork of Haring, Warhol, Kruger, Wool and the politics of punk/hardcore music. With roots creating graffiti in the late 1990s followed by time shaping the Lowbrow Art movement, GAWD’s evocative work brings the street to the studio (and now the blockchain) through paint, typography, pop imagery, and punk sensibility. This is coupled with an activist streak of rebellion and dissent in the fight for our individual rights and freedoms against the fascist forces of our world. In 2023, GAWD became the first artist in the world to begin releasing new work simultaneously across platforms as multi-chain timed editions (Objkt/Tezos, Foundation/Ethereum, and Exchange/Solana), allowing collectors to acquire new work on the blockchain of their choice. A self-described “Pop Punk Artist” GAWD's repurposing of highbrow fashion, luxury, and images of power colliding with snarky lowbrow typography fuels bold, brash social commentary with a nihilistic bent. Each work challenges us to question ourselves, the world around us, and our place in it. No AI was used in the creation of this artwork. #MADExHUMANS
