Monumental Meme Artwork 'The Citadel (v. Nardo)' Debuts at Bitcoin Conference
A monumental painting, measuring 7 feet wide and 5 feet tall, is set to debut at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas. The artwork, titled 'The Citadel (v. Nardo)', is a meticulous oil rendering that took six months to complete. It explores the cultural impact of internet memes, with a particular focus on the 'Citadel' meme that originated on 4chan in 2013.
The painting, created by an artist who wishes to evoke grandeur and symbolic density, is a hand-painted oil version of the original 'Citadel' meme. The original meme featured iconic internet figures and a tower symbolizing power and belief. The artist aims to capture the essence of the meme and its impact on society, stating 'you become what you meme'. The meme, which was inspired by a Reddit post warning about a stratified Bitcoin price society, has evolved and been remixed online, eventually inspiring the artist's latest work.
The 'Citadel' meme, first posted on 4chan, has remained anonymous in terms of its original creator. The platform is known for its anonymity, making it difficult to identify the original source of its content. The artist's 'The Citadel (v. Nardo)' will be sold at auction via Scarce.City, adding another layer to the meme's journey and impact on popular culture.
The 'The Citadel (v. Nardo)' painting, a testament to the power and influence of internet memes, will make its debut at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas. Its sale at auction via Scarce.City will further cement its place in the digital art world, reflecting the artist's belief in memes as modern folklore that shape our expectations of reality.
