Creepy Pope (Collectible 10P)
Made with #stablediffusion - 04/16/2023, Lausanne, Switzerland 🇨🇭

THEME - ArtHack - Redefining Iconic Artworks For The Digital Age", the first online exhibition of Art From Future on the Lens Protocol @lensprotocol, in partnership with the Museum of Lens @molens Exhibition curated by Jessy Jeanne @jessyjeanne & Armin Hoori @arminhoori.lens

Invited artists: @marzipanphysics @cybershakti @mazemari @andresbriceno @whitecloud @lufoart.lens

Work explanation - aalbec's artwork is a digital reinterpretation of Francis Bacon's "Study after Velázquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X" series, which featured around 50 variants of the classic painting executed throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. aalbec's work is inspired by the distortions and unique interpretations of Bacon's series, which played with the boundaries between the classic and the modern. Using stable diffusion and revisiting moments from the history of pixel art and profile picture (PFP) culture, aalbec's artwork creates a futuristic, technological evolution of Bacon's original series. The artwork features a robotic pope leaving the screen, suggesting a new, exciting evolution of religious iconography. Like Bacon's series, aalbec's work try explores the human condition through its distorted depictions of the pope's face, which suggest a sense of anxiety and vulnerability in the figure of power. Through the use of AI technology, aalbec's work challenges viewers' perceptions of traditional art and tries to create a powerful, emotional impact.

Short bio - aalbec is a new artist who has a background in software engineering and is just starting to produce artwork. He sees himself as a researcher-artist interested in exploring philosophical and scientific subjects through his art. His work often focuses on the interaction between the artwork and the spectator. Currently, aalbec is particularly interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and art, and how AI can be used to create more engaging and interactive art experiences. He believes that AI technology will continue to have a significant impact on the art world, and he is eager to be at the forefront of this exciting new trend.
