ADHD (American, b. 1981) is the moniker of Philadelphia-based artist and musician Colin Frangicetto, also known as Space Case. His hyper-layered paintings and collages channel a language of cohesive chaos to explore memetics, alienation, and post-internet decadence. He has exhibited visual art since 2008 and has spent decades touring internationally as a guitarist, most notably with the band Circa Survive.
He first thought about becoming an artist around age sixteen, and immersion in punk, skateboarding, graffiti, and DIY culture gave him confidence to pursue it outside conventional work. After buying Bitcoin in 2016 while touring full-time and exhibiting physical work in galleries, he initially treated painting as the “serious” side of his practice and digital work as secondary. He began minting on Ethereum in late 2020, but felt disenchanted by the hype of 2021 until the launch of Hic et Nunc drew him back in. About six months later, the wallet display's limitations led him to start a fresh wallet for a new body of work, giving rise to the ADHD moniker.
