Von Bitcoin Art
I believe Bitcoin art is a record of the times and a call to action. It is frustration with how things are, but also hope for how things can be. My artwork is inspired by Bitcoin and Bitcoiners.
I have worked in various mediums over the years, including resin and concrete with upcycled mining equipment and Opendimes from Coinkite, but recently I have taken on the challenge of carving stone. Stone carving with hammer and chisel is a long and multi-faceted process. To me, it is the highest, artistic embodiment of Bitcoin's proof-of-work and low time-preference culture.
Below is a selection of the pieces I am most proud of. For sales inquires please contact sales@vonbitcoinart.com.
"Free Yourself" in Bronze
Limited to 21 numbered pieces. Please reach out via email if you are interested in securing one of the remaining pieces for your collection.
"The Great Wave off Nakamoto"
Hand carved in slate with 24k gold leaf accents, it is intended as an expression of hope and self determination in the turbulent sea of fiat derived injustice that is all around us. Based off Hokusai's famous woodblock print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"
"Free Yourself #2"
My largest sculpture to date. It is carved from Texas Gold limestone using a combination of pneumatic and hand tools.
