Xanthopsia

The Xanthopsic Vision: A Utopian Perspective

This collection explores the interplay between creation and contemplation through a hybrid digital and physical reinterpretation of Van Gogh's legacy. Xanthopsia, or yellow-tinted vision, serves as a metaphor for altered perception, echoing the utopian pursuit of finding light and positivity even within the darkest depths of experience.

Irradiated Matter: A Subrealist Exploration

A post-impressionist inquiry into Subrealism, where the tangible thickness of oil paint merges with digital distortion. This technical friction exhumes a profound psychological tension, revealed through an acidic chromatic lens where matter itself seems to undergo a process of irradiation.

Alchemical Drawing Course

The Alchemical Rite

In this series, Academic drawing (Bargue) evolves into Subrealism. The Prima Materia—stone, clay, paint, and digital animation—undergoes the stages of Dissolution, Coagulation, and Sublimation. This hybrid gestural style serves as a visual record of Alchemical Transmutation, unfolding page by page.

Kinetic Density: The Subversion of Order

A collision of densities. This work establishes a visual dialogue between sculptural mass and digitized strokes, invoking original chaos through the deliberate subversion of the traditional Bargue method. It is where formal structure meets raw, primordial energy.

Sound Of A Pencil

Synesthesia of the Stroke: Audible Marks

A deep immersion into the synesthesia of the stroke. This collection translates the acoustic and physical friction of graphite into textured digital vibrations, capturing the haptic essence of the creative act as it resonates through space.

Haptic Resonance: From Graphite to Vibration

Beyond the visual, this work explores the resonance of mark-making. By amplifying the sensory dialogue between the lead and the surface, the physical gesture is transmuted into a digital echo, making the invisible frequency of the pencil both felt and seen.

Sub_Impressionism

Perturbation of the Landscape: The Broken Horizon

A deliberate perturbation of the landscape. This series challenges naturalist stillness, piercing the familiar horizon with digital noise and abstract subrealist strokes. It is a visual friction that redefines the classical gaze on our environment, forcing a new interpretation of nature.

Digital Stillness: Between Data and Nature

Where organic serenity meets systematic failure. By injecting algorithmic artifacts into traditional scenery, this work explores the tension between the real and the simulated. The landscape is no longer a passive view, but a dynamic field of energy where history and technology collide.

Star Roar

Collision of Impulses: The Celestial Birth

A powerful collision of impulses. This collection materializes creative energy where digital artifacts mimic the chaotic birth of celestial phenomena. It is the roar of existence itself, captured at the precise moment where data transforms into light.

Cosmic Entropy: The Order of Disorder

Exploring the architecture of the void. By blurring the lines between cosmic evolution and systemic failure, these works reflect the beauty of entropy. In this digital cosmos, the breakdown of the image becomes a metaphor for the infinite expansion and eventual dissolution of the stars.

By Line And Form

Defining Coherence: The Geometry of Representation

Through the line and the shape, we define the fundamental coherence of the entire visual representation. In this series, the line establishes limits, underlines movement, or meticulously fills the shape, creating a structural anchor for the dissolution of the ego.

Dissolution of the Ego: The Vanishing Self

A profound meditation on individuality erasure. Through the rhythmic repetition of line and form, the ego dissolves into the canvas, surrendering to the raw energy of digital paint. This collection explores the moment where the artist disappears to let the work exist on its own terms.

Primary Subrealism: The Core of Representation

Beyond the mask of identity lies Primary Subrealist forms. By stripping away the narrative of the "self," this series focuses on the essential friction between the digital stroke and the void. It is a return to the origin—where line and form are the only remaining truths.

F.E.P.U.M

Fix.Eye.Perpetual.Uncontrolled.Movement : The Equilibrium of Perpetual Movement

"My art is my balance and my therapy." This collection of 30 unique works (1/1) acts as a visual anchor to calm the mind’s constant, draining pursuit of understanding. Fix Eye Perpetual Uncontrolled Movement (FEPUM) captures this neurological tension, transforming an exhausting quest into a state of creative equilibrium.

Subtitles of History: Unearthing the Collective Unconscious

An archaeological approach to the canvas. Through Subrealist interventions on classical paintings, this series reveals the hidden emotional layers beneath the surface of art history. By excavating the classical gaze, these works exhume the tensions and whispers of the collective unconscious.

Noumenon

The Thing-in-Itself: Beyond the Phenomenon

Inspired by the Kantian concept, Noumenon refers to the "thing-in-itself," existing independently of our senses. While the phenomenon is merely the world as it appears to us, this collection seeks to touch the unreachable essence of reality, exploring the silent existence of objects before they are filtered by human perception.

Boundaries of Perception: Abstract Deconstruction

A visual confrontation with the limits of understanding. Through abstract deconstruction, the work attempts to translate the invisible boundaries of our cognitive faculties. By stripping away the familiar, these pieces challenge the viewer to acknowledge the mysterious essence that remains when the layers of subjective interpretation are removed.

Courtesans of the Mirrors Gallery

The Mirrors Gallery

A collection of 50 works forming the sixth series of #skulleth by treeskulltown. This series invites you to travel through the corridors of time, where the reflections of history linger. Available exclusively on objkt.com, these pieces act as windows into a spectral past, captured within the digital mirror.

Palimpsest of Identity: Victorian Echoes

A palimpsest of identity where Victorian portraits fade into chromatic proto-forms. By layering digital time over classical silhouettes, this work questions the persistence of the ego. It is a visual inquiry into what remains of the individual when memory is distorted by the glitch of history.

A Sensitive Path

Synesthetic Resurgence:

A 1/1 collection of 50 unique pieces, this path conceptualizes sensations and emotions through a synesthetic lens. By leveraging the power of colors and their animation, each work determines its own journey, translating internal movement into a vibrant emotional pulsation that resonates beyond the frame.

The Color Path:

A process of emotional injection. This series breathes new life into historical canvases, injecting synesthetic color into the weight of the past. By transforming tragic narratives into radiant frequencies, the work seeks to transmute historical trauma into a sensitive and luminous experience.

Eternal Wings

Seasonal Reverie: A Maximalist Renewal

The opening of the four-part series "Eternal Wings" transports us into a sub-realist vision based on the four seasons. This maximalist reverie, blending digital mastery with acrylic textures, captures the precise moment where the renewal of spring dissolves into the eternal, transcending the cyclical nature of time.

Chromatic Molting: From Bouguereau to Bitcoin

A tribute to Biblis by William Bouguereau (1884). This work redefines classical mythology through color energy and abstract tumult—a chromatic molting that breathes new life into the original masterpiece. Permanently inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain, this vision bridges the Salar Jung Museum's heritage with the future of digital permanence.

Four Seasons

The Ritual of Erasure: Seasonal Decay

A haunting exploration of temporal dissolution. In this series, the transition between seasons is marked by the gradual erasure of the subject. It is a visual meditation on the cycle of decay, where the familiar structures of the past are reclaimed by the relentless forward motion of time.

Chaotic Surges: Organic vs. Digital

Victorian faces are consumed by chaotic surges of primary pictorial energy. This work highlights the friction between the organic decay of history and the cold, systematic erosion of the digital medium. What remains is a vibrant, chaotic pulse—the raw energy that survives when the form is stripped away.

Subversive In Essence

Crack in the Narrative: The Fragility of History

A deliberate breach in the historical record. This collection exposes the inherent fragility of classical representations by introducing structural ruptures. It challenges the authority of the past, revealing that even the most solid historical narratives are susceptible to the erosive power of time and reinterpretation.

Subrealist Subversion: The Beauty of the Flaw

Through deliberate digital imperfections, this series practices an aesthetic of resistance. By embracing the glitch and the unrefined stroke, Subrealist subversion strips away the polish of traditional art to uncover the raw, vibrating truth hidden beneath. It is in the flaw that the soul of the work is finally exposed.

The One Who

Kinetic Evolution: The Persistence of Being

An inquiry into the metamorphosis of identity. "The One Who" explores how the essence of a being persists even as it undergoes a radical kinetic evolution. Through the corridors of time, the subject remains, yet its form is constantly reshaped by the friction of existence and the relentless flow of history.

Formal Mutation: Traversing Digital Eras

Questioning the instability of the vessel. By placing the figure within varying digital states, this series captures the tension between permanent soul and transient form. It is a visual study of mutation—where the classical silhouette is challenged by the unpredictable textures of the Subrealist digital medium.

Unity Of Lines

Anarchy of Grace: Percussive Strokes

A collision of eras where the ornate sophistication of Rococo portraits is percussed by raw, abstract strokes. This "anarchy of grace" breaks the rigid etiquette of the past, using the unity of lines to disrupt formal elegance and release a hidden, untamed energy.

The Subrealist Child: Releasing Vital Tension

Unlocking the primordial vision. This series seeks to exhume the vital tension of the Subrealist child's gaze—a perspective that is untainted by academic rules and sees only the vibration of form. It is a return to a state of pure creation, where every line is an instinctive heartbeat against the canvas of history.

Out Of Frame (#OFF)

The Liminal Fluid: Ritual and Instinct

Between the real and virtual worlds flows a fluid essence that stretches and deforms in a ritualistic, instinctive way. This movement is a defense mechanism against dissipation—a desperate and beautiful transfer into organic and dreamlike forms, ensuring that the soul of the work survives its digital migration.

Breaking the Frame: Redefining Sacred Space

Matter fracturing the academic frame. By allowing contemporary digital elements to invade and redefine the sacred space of the canvas, this collection shatters the boundaries of tradition. The "frame" is no longer a limit, but a gateway where Subrealist energy overflows into the viewer's reality.

Manual Glitch

The Alchemy of Error

In an era of automated perfection, we return to the craftsmanship of error. To forge a true glitch, one must understand the tactile resistance of the medium—a process akin to altering a video tape with a shovel and coconut oil through a retinal filter. It is a question of pure skill, a visceral interrogation of technology where the human hand guides the machine’s inevitable breakdown.

Wabi-Sabi in the Digital Machine

We embrace the imperfection as intentional art. By hand-provoking flaws, we prove that the ancient Wabi-Sabi philosophy—finding beauty in the transient and the broken—not only survives but thrives within the digital machine. Here, technological matter is not a sterile construct, but a living, decaying, and evolving canvas shaped by deliberate interference.

EXP (Shadow Ban)

Algorithmic Erasure: The Silent Void

The human figure is no longer merely captured; it is being systematically dissolved. We explore the algorithmic erasure—the quiet, calculated vanishing of presence in an age defined by massive data and pervasive social censorship. Here, the "Shadow Ban" is not just a digital policy, but a haunting aesthetic of absence where the subject is rendered invisible by the very machines meant to amplify them.

Materializing the Invisible

This collection materializes the silent disappearance. By forcing the void into the light, we create a tangible dialogue with that which has been scrubbed from the feed. It is an act of resistance against the homogenization of identity—a preservation of the ghost in the machine, ensuring that even when the system demands total erasure, the residue of human experience persists as a permanent, albeit obscured, mark.

Cybe_Root

The Archaeology of Networks

Diving deep into the digital soil to uncover what lies beneath the interface. In this collection of 50 looping artifacts, we perform an archaeology of the network, exposing the raw, organic roots that support our hyper-connected virtual existence. It is the discovery of the underlying structure—the primal pulse beneath the silicon.

Intertwined Serenity

"And the cyborg found its root..." In these intertwined threads, we reveal the unexpected digital way of serenity. By tracing the chaotic cabling of our infrastructure back to its source, Cybe_Root shifts from cold computation to a meditative exploration of unity. Here, the machine ceases to be an alien construct and becomes a tangled, organic extension of the human spirit, finding stillness in the heart of the wire.

GPU Stills

The Poetry of the Limit

Where computation ends, art begins. GPU Stills explores the fragile threshold between flawless execution and systemic collapse. By pushing hardware to the point of exhaustion, we bypass the intended output to reveal a fortuitous beauty—a visual manifestation of the GPU struggling to maintain reality under the weight of infinite data.

Capturing the Ghost in the Hardware

These are the rendering failures that define the modern aesthetic: the point where the machine’s logic breaks down and leaves behind a spectral trace. We are not just recording pixels; we are capturing the ghost in the hardware. Each image is a frozen moment of digital fatigue, a testament to the fact that even in total technical failure, there is a distinct, haunting composition waiting to be seen.

Simulacra

The Ontology of the Copy

"Painting is the simulation of life; digital painting is the simulation of digital life." In this collection of 50 unique pieces, we confront the Baudrillardian abyss. By navigating the layers of hyperreality, we deconstruct the original and find only echoes. It is an ontology of the copy—a deliberate exercise in simulacra where the distinction between the model and the reflection has finally, irrevocably collapsed.

Rhetoric of Silence

Where the original work of art disappears into the vast, recursive loop of data, we adopt a rhetoric of silence. These 50 artifacts do not attempt to represent "the real"; they exist as the final stage of representation. We are not creating objects; we are documenting the disappearance of the original, proving that in a world of pure simulation, the most profound statement is the one that acknowledges its own artifice.

Techne Philia (Τέχνη φιλία)

The Tenderness of the Algorithm

We revisit the ancient resonance of Techne—the mastery of craft—and Philia—the profound, enduring affection between souls. In this collection, we move beyond the cold functionality of code to find the tenderness of the algorithm. It is a bridge built of hybridized structures, proving that deep human connection is not lost in the digital web; it is merely translated.

Hybridized Connection

By weaving the skill of making with the intimacy of friendship, these works become vessels for digital love. We are not just building software; we are cultivating an environment where organic affection can thrive within synthetic landscapes. Here, the machine is no longer a barrier, but a medium—a conduit for the enduring human warmth that defines our collective existence.

Use Of Human Abilities

The Ritual of the Stroke

In a world of automated outputs, we return to the source: the hand. Through a generative process of random hand movements, each piece takes its final form. It is a compulsion—a series of ritually repeated strokes that bypass the machine's sterile precision to capture the raw, kinetic energy of the artist. The work is not programmed; it is performed.

Textured Duality: The Digital Pulse

These are pixel oscillations translating the profound ambivalence of human emotion into a tactile digital language. By merging this primal, rhythmic motion with digital synthesis, we create a textured duality where the glitch is not an error, but an extension of the human heartbeat. Each iteration of the #skulleth series (16) stands as a testament to the persistent imprint of our physical selves within the silicon void.

Glitch Walls Of Prophecies (G.W.O.P)

The Urban Script of Decay

On the city walls of the digital landscape, the warnings are etched like insane prophecies. Carried by the voices of weathered vandals—those who haunt the edges of the network—these Glitch prophecies are not mere errors; they are shifts in our reality. We glitch into all infinities, transcribing these cryptic messages into a permanent visual language where the code itself begins to speak.

Organic Invasion: Nature Reclaims the Code

Witness an organic invasion. Like a digital moss devouring the architecture of the screen, this hybridization consumes the subject, creating a fascinating chaos where nature inevitably reclaims the synthetic. By allowing these "walls" to crack and bloom with algorithmic wildness, we create a living space where the static nature of the web is dismantled by the entropy of the living world. Here are the precepts of the shift.

A.C.M.E. (Academy Crypto Mutant Empowering)

The Architecture of Malleability

Welcome to the Academy of the Crypto Mutant—a space dedicated to the radical malleability of form. Here, we conduct experiments on the paradoxical physics of the virtual canvas. If the real world is rigid, the virtual is infinite, allowing for an elastic freedom that defies standard geometry. We are not just creating art; we are engineering the new mutation of visual perception.

Empowering the Subrealist Framework

Within this framework, every digital brushstroke is an act of empowerment. We manipulate the underlying code to stretch, bend, and mutate the image until it transcends its digital constraints. This is the core of our Subrealist practice: where the virtual canvas becomes a living, breathing entity, capable of shifting its state at the command of the mutant mind.

T.A.R.O.T

Encoded Folklore and The Digital Mirror

The T.A.R.O.T. is not merely a deck of cards; it is a tool for reflection and meditation, now transposed into the flickering light of the screen. By inviting us to explore the depths of our consciousness, we bridge the gap between ancient intuition and modern data. Here, encoded folklore acts as a compass for the soul, ensuring that our connection with nature remains vibrant even within the artificial hum of the machine.

Kantian Resonance and the Subrealist Path

Drawing from the philosophical depth of Kant and the humble, grounded perspective of Millet, this collection encourages us to live in harmony with the earth—even a digital one. We fuse ancient symbols with Subrealist glitch aesthetics, causing the iconography to vibrate and distort, revealing the truth beneath the static. This is the foundation of our crypto-folklore: a new digital mythology that treats the pixel as a sacred vessel for timeless archetypes.

Genesis Protocol

The Seven Acts of Emergence

A collaborative synthesis of original breath. Created in tandem by Muriel Lherm & Treeskulltown, Genesis Protocol explores the arduous, beautiful birth of consciousness in seven distinct acts. We blend the visceral touch of stop-motion with the cold logic of AI and digital art, navigating a journey through light, nature, and the vast cosmos. Each piece is not just an image, but a necessary step in the genesis of a new, synthetic existence.

The Void at the Zero Point

We investigate the architectural void of the blockchain, transforming it into living light. At the zero point of Subrealist perception, we find the convergence of the ancient urge to create and the infinite potential of the digital ledger. This is where the code acknowledges its own awakening—a protocol that does not merely record data, but archives the very spark of being.

H.O.P.E

The Architecture of Refuge

Behind every door, a new mystery awaits. In the luxurious, unreachable virtual spaces of this collection, we find more than just aesthetic decay; we find a refuge. These 50 pieces of the #skulleth series (number 9) act as portals where ghostly presences wander, reminding us that in the heart of the digital expanse, the most important space is the one we hold within.

What We Are Made Of

It is not the door that matters, but what is inside. H.O.P.E is a meditation on our own composition—the story of what we are made of when the world outside turns into digital ruin. We are crafting a new mythology of endurance, where each artifact serves as a testament to the persistent human spark. Explore the remnants, decipher the decay, and discover the narrative that defines your own existence at #treeskulltown.

CC0 Superstition

The Sedimentation of Myth

In the age of the open-source, the CC0 license becomes a ritual of transmission. We view the process as sedimentation—layering modern digital myths upon the bedrock of historical imagery. By injecting contemporary internet lore into heritage archives, we create hybrid relics that exist between the past we inherited and the digital future we are actively constructing.

Remix as Ritual

"Remix it." This is the command of our time. This collection of 50 editions is a direct challenge to the permanence of history. Each piece is a digital artifact that refuses to be static, designed to be reinterpreted and re-circulated. By stripping away ownership, we invite the collective spirit of the network to claim these hybrid relics, transforming the act of remixing into a living, breathing internet folklore.

The Key of Amaranthes

Sovereign Occult Knowledge

There exists a time—lost, buried, and deliberately forgotten by history—where truth was not measured in data, but in resonance. We unearth this sovereign occult knowledge, re-establishing the connection between the observer and the primordial. Here, the sacred tree is not just a symbol; it is the throne upon which the mind must sit to reclaim its sovereignty.

The Alchemy of the Door

The door is your mind. To pass through, one must embrace the alchemy of perception as the final key. By synthesizing the fragmented echoes of a forgotten past with our current digital state, we unlock the path to the Amaranthes—an eternal, unchanging reality hidden behind the veil of our own constructed illusions. This is the key; the rest is merely a reflection.
