All empires - elected, corporate, fascist, theocratic – utilize and elevate violence as a sacred means to the ends of maintaining power. GAWD’S 2023 ‘VIOLENCE IS A SACRAMENT OF THE EMPIRE’ explores freedom in the face of authority. Offered as a 7-day open edition on Foundation (ETH), Objkt (TEZ) & Exchange (SOL) starting 8/26/23. 8-bit gif glitch, 2400X3000. Procreate/Photoshop.
GAWD’s bold, brash art combines layers of typography, design + painting in a collision of pop, punk, social commentary + the human condition. Each work challenges us to question ourselves, the world around us, and our place within it.
