Luis Ponce probes how distorted views and misguided perceptions re-shape our reality.

And the Absurd was Born utilises intoxicating patterns to trick the eye. The experimental print leans upon tactile techniques that compliment the multi-layered cataclysm of visual motifs. Fluorescent inks channel the raw saturated colour of Ponce's work, becoming electric under UV light. Appearing to escape the surface of the print in trompe-l’oeil style, a pair of serpents wrap themselves around posthumanist characters. With his eclectic blend of imagery, Ponce suggests that in our relentless pursuit of success, we often devour ourselves.

"I seek to represent those distorted views and often misguided perceptions or beliefs for which we decide to sacrifice ourselves. What are we willing to let burn, and what will we strive to preserve?"

Each print is paired with an animated NFT of the same artwork, enabled by augmented reality. Claiming instructions will be shared with collectors after launch.

Behind the scenes

Luis Ponce

1 collaboration

Luis Ponce makes wild, mind-bending digital art. His gifs and films are intoxicatingly bright with impossible perspectives that spin and swerve like an M.C. Escher painting. In fact, Ponce is a self-confessed superfan. And you can see it in his art. Dazzling stripes and patterns meet random body parts and swirling tubes of rollercoaster-esque architecture. It comes as no surprise that Ponce’s ideas are as complex as his visuals. “So much influences me. Cosmogonic myths, posthumanism, the human mind, perception of light and everyday experiences”. Just about everything is in his work. And that’s the magic of it. It’s oversaturation at its very best.
