Satoshi Nakamoto
One of "The 5 Satoshis". One of the major pieces by the French artist. Exchangeable for 60 NFTs of the same name, available for purchase at 350,000 euros, Satoshi Nakamoto stands out as one of the essential works of 0xec6d0. An extraordinary work dedicated to the creator of the blockchain, a character as mythical as he is anonymous.
Here the pink, fluorescent, explodes, recalls this series of 5 unique paintings made on the blockchain, in honor of its major players. Satoshi remains the central element of the work which takes up the great classics of the artist: a black background, pastel, a typical smile.
Of course the messages are numerous and everyone will find meaning in them. As always the work has a taped edge, a trademark of 0xec6d0, almost a signature. A few small details will attract the attention of a keen eye, notably the traditional ICHTHUS mark of the artist, here at the bottom right, or the fish synonymous of Christianity in the middle left, under the face of Satoshi Nakamoto.
The eyes always surrounded by Sennelier pastel, Liquitex fluorescent which will give another dimension to this Satoshi, taking him, almost, to the state of a robot, a mystic. Some dollar signs are presented at the top of the table, a reminder of the dichotomy between cryptocurrencies and USD, also a reminder of a few words from Satoshi Nakamoto, wanting to overtake the dollar and impose Bitcoin as the number 1 currency in the world.
Crucial paintings in the work of 0xec6d0, the “Satoshi” series remains an essential, known internationally and prized by European collectors and fans of NFTs and cryptos. A unique piece. Something huge. A must, a Satoshi Nakomoto, more than rare, kept in a safe in France in a secret location.
Like the other 5 Satoshis. They were sitting in my stock. Accumulated. I had never put them for sale or on the market. Destiny. I had the idea of generating a collection of NFTs around them. To make it a quest.
NFTs have caused many people to lose money, even though their concept is quite general. I wanted to connect NFTs to physical art. Give them weight.
I made it all inaccessible. Perhaps they will return to anonymity. Maybe not. To the innocent with their hands full, we'll see.
