Looking up at the moon today, makes me think intensively about a version of the future within my crypto themed vision.
That’s the power I see in my physical art.
Now I know that even if there is only one future, we still have to disrupt and create to make it our future.
For the cover I made for this volume of Citadel21, I liked the idea of a flashlight spot, and me moving secretly with my art on a dark and uncertain path. In a fairly new art genre, as a crypto artist I still move underground, with no boundaries and limits. This is the same feeling I had back when hip-hop was still underground and unregulated, and when I started doing graffiti 30 years ago.
Right now, I like to move in the underground, through dark terrain, and hope that one day the switch will flip, and result in a bright future.
RYR is a german artist who initially started out on the streets, where he was honing his artistic skills through graffiti painting. Before long, he made a bold decision to move into the studio where he continued to explore his creative interest in contemporary mediums, resulting in an art form.
RYR makes his artworks out of Fiat banknotes – handcrafted paper made of cellulose and shredded banknotes from around the world. Since 2019 RYR expanded his artistic outlet through RYR STUDIO, where he works with associates on design and apparel.
