GAWD'S WORLD: THERE'S NO JUSTICE THERE'S JUST US by GAWD

GAWD’s 225th release, THERE'S NO JUSTICE THERE'S JUST US was created in response to the Supreme Court of the United States' (pictured) rulings this past week which rendered bribery of public officials acceptable, pollution legal, homelessness illegal, and granted Presidents the immunity of Kings. A rallying cry, the title phrase has appeared repeatedly in everything from the Civil Rights Movement to Punk and Hardcore lyrics.

BIO: New York-based GenX artist GAWD grew up with the work of Haring and Warhol and a soundtrack 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. GAWD's repurposing of highbrow fashion and luxury imagery (serving as connective cultural tissue) 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.
