    Nychos Dissection Of The White Rabbit AP Archival Print by Nychos

    Dissection Of The White Rabbit Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 300gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Nychos Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2013Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 16x16 "I painted this piece in January of this year, right before I went to Hawaii for Pow Wow. It was also featured in my recent solo show in Italy, showcasing some of my recent dissections. The concept is based on the graphical graffiti throw-up I have been doing since around 2005, but I had to do a dissection of this one! The image is now Rabbit Eye Movement's main (REM) logo. REM started as a street art concept based in Vienna, but I always saw the Rabbit Eye Movement as an homage to all the "rabbits" out there being" active in the urban art movement; it doesn't matter what mission they are following. The movement grew, and REM expanded to establish the REM ARTSPACE. This place addresses national and international artists from genres like graffiti, urban illustration, street art, lowbrow, and pop culture imagery. It allows individual and collective creativity to open minds and cultivate passionate inspiration." - Nychos. Nychos' "Dissection of The White Rabbit": A Modern Pop Art Phenomenon In the contemporary urban landscape, few art pieces have captured the imagination as vividly as "Dissection of The White Rabbit" by Nychos, the illustrious graffiti street artist. This limited edition archival pigment print on 300gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper stands as a hallmark of modern pop art and a defining piece within the street pop art and graffiti artwork genre. Created as an artist proof (AP) in 2013, this 16x16 artwork weaves complex narratives of biology, mythology, and urban culture into a single, striking, and thought-provoking canvas. Nychos: Anatomical Explorations and Urban Narratives Nychos, renowned for his unique approach to street art, employs a distinctive technique of anatomical dissection in his work. "Dissection of The White Rabbit" is a prime example, presenting a rabbit split down the middle to reveal the intricate workings of its internal organs. This piece was conceived in January of that year, just as Nychos was preparing to attend Pow Wow in Hawaii, and subsequently became a centerpiece in his solo show in Italy. Nychos's work delves into the layers that compose living beings, reflecting a deep fascination with what lies beneath the surface. By marrying the graphic energy of graffiti throw-ups with the precise detail of dissections, Nychos has forged a new path in street pop art. The artwork also functions as the emblem for the Rabbit Eye Movement (REM), a concept originating from the streets of Vienna. Nychos envisions REM as a tribute to the 'rabbits' of the urban art movement, symbolizing the active participants in this burgeoning cultural scene, regardless of their mission. REM has since evolved to establish the REM ARTSPACE. This creative hub celebrates a variety of genres, from graffiti and urban illustration to street art, lowbrow, and pop culture imagery. This space is dedicated to fostering individual and collective creativity and serves as a bastion for the free exchange of ideas, ensuring the progression and inspiration of artists worldwide. The Impact and Legacy of Nychos' Work The influence of "Dissection of The White Rabbit" extends beyond its visual impact. It embodies Nychos' profound effect on the street art scene, illustrating the transformative power of visual arts in urban spaces. The work is a representation of the artist's technical prowess and a symbol of his commitment to challenging the traditional boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As the primary logo for the Rabbit Eye Movement, it has become synonymous with a global network of artists dedicated to advancing the cause of street art. Through his work and the establishment of REM ARTSPACE, Nychos has played a pivotal role in shaping the dialogue around street art and its place in the broader spectrum of contemporary art. In essence, "Dissection of The White Rabbit" is more than just a piece of art; it is a cornerstone of Nychos' artistic and cultural contribution. This piece encapsulates the dynamism and versatility of street pop art and graffiti artwork, demonstrating how such works can simultaneously educate, inspire, and provoke thought. As Nychos' fame continues to rise and his works continue to captivate audiences around the globe, the legacy of his white rabbit, dissected and displayed, stands as an enduring symbol of the power and potential of street art.
