Charles Darwin — Century Series
This artwork is titled “Charles Darwin” animated as a GIF and minted in an edition of 42.
It is a unique digitally manipulated version of the painting that I created for a series of skull paintings. Each of these paintings is named after an individual that is meaningful to me, born over a hundred years ago and now deceased—the Century Series.
Influenced by the spiritual color explorations of Mark Rothko, the metaphoric painting of Paul Klee and the pop art of Andy Warhol, the Century Series is a powerful exploration of the duplicated icon and of the emotionality of color. It is a meditation on the conflict between the beauty of a life lived and its brevity.
