PSYCHONAUT [2022]

PSYCHONAUT is part of the FLOURISH collection, an ongoing adventure in experimental digital abstract pieces. FLOURISH pieces are digital collages built from undoing an original abstract piece and using its own source code as components of a new composition that channels 90s video games, pixel art, VHS tracking errors, and more in a playful take on abstract minimalism full of loops, ghosting, and logarithmic echos.

There are only 10 available, each one signed and numbered. PSYCHONAUT measures 19" x 24" with a 2" border. It is printed on museum-quality archival paper with colour fast inks that withstand fading. 

Like all DEVOID pieces, it features a playful psychedelic skew on abstract minimalism - influenced heavily by a fascination with 90s video game culture, science fiction, pixel art, and a curiosity with the intersection between these environments and the work of artists like Jackson Pollock, Carmen Herrera, and Frank Stella. 

DEVOID pieces have become favourites with contemporary artists, with Tom Sachs, Kalen Iwamoto, and Jack Kaido being noted collectors of previous collections. Within PSYCHONAUT, you'll find a host of digital aberrations, hallucinatory visuals, and artwork that seems to span multiple dimensions in space at the same time. Also, note that DEVOID pieces tend to have a heavy influence of squares and cubes - linking back to DEVOIDs first collection - a metafiction tale told through a collection of digital fine art about a square that vows to escape its 2D canvas.
