Willem DeKooning

Great artists satisfy an irresistible, creative urge. Willem DeKooning was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist who created in a lively and colorful manner. His internal, creative focus was inspiring, believing that artists must always focus on satisfying themselves before collectors or critics. He was eternally motivated to create something new, though he suffered from great self doubt, desperate not to become stagnant in the art world. He also believed that no artist ever works alone, but rather as part of a collective, a community, a movement. This book details a great chronology of his works and I used this historical progression to collaborate with this master painter. All of the art lives within the border, but DeKooning himself always goes beyond the edges, pushing himself to new heights. The NFT shows the creation process, building from the outside in, to reveal the meaning from concept to formation among a wavelike, neon background, highlighting the details of DeKooning’s work.
