Relics is a collection of artworks imagining future artifacts where the physicality of an artifact has become redundant. In art we repeatedly seek the uniqueness of the work, it’s there where its value is often measured. Even in digital art work a NFT makes become a commodity and therefore a unique work of art.
Playful with fragmentation and juxtaposition, Ari Weinkle‘s works challenge our eyes and open our minds to new artistic possibilities. In his projects, this Boston-based artist and designer looks to break apart and re-appropriate different forms such as the human figure, geometric and organic shapes, and typography.
Talking about his work, Ari says: “My inspiration comes from a wide range of sources. I have been particularly affected by Japanese aesthetics, abstract painting, surrealism, and philosophy. I attempt to draw on both visual and non-visual sources throughout my work.”
