Description

GAWD’S 268th release NO GODS NO MASTERS is a nod to liberty, equality, self-determination, self-rule, and collective decision-making in the anarchist spirit. Released ahead of the “democratic” U.S. Presidential Elections, this Black & White Colorway is part of GAWD’s ‘Freedumb I$n’t Free’ Collection and the artist’s first CCO release. Dropped as an edition of 100 on 10/30/2024 and sent to social media respondents … any remaining editions will be burned after election day. Hand-painted graffiti using Procreate on iPad. Released exclusively on OBJKT (Tezos). 5400x3600 (2:3), 32 bit, 300 dpi, PNG file, 11.1 MB. _______ New York-based GenX artist GAWD (b. 1977, United States) grew up influenced by the work of Haring, Warhol, Kruger and the politics of punk/hardcore music. With roots creating graffiti in the late 1990s followed by the Lowbrow Art movement - published in 2012 alongside other Pop Surrealist digital artists - GAWD adopted the pseudonym in 2014 creating evocative work that brings the street to the studio (and now the blockchain) through paint, typography, pop imagery, and punk sensibility. 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. Created by GAWD, 2024. Released as a CC0 work, No Rights Reserved.
