In a harmonious amalgamation of ancient Egyptian allure and contemporary symbolism, Marwan Shahin's "Anonymous Pharaoh 2Vth Blacked Out" emerges as a beacon of artistic fusion. This 2022 masterpiece intricately combines the regal imagery of the Pharaoh with the emblematic Guy Fawkes' stylization, often associated with the 'Anonymous' movement, presenting a compelling narrative of resistance and identity. Spanning a dimension of 14x17 inches, the artwork is rendered meticulously on black Egyptian papyrus. This choice of medium is deliberate, offering an authentic and rich texture that accentuates the acrylic silkscreen and aluminum paint detailing. The gleam of the silver signature and numbering heightens its exclusivity, reiterating the limited edition of just 25 pieces. A tribute to Shahin's commitment to individuality, each piece is handcrafted, ensuring that every print retains its distinct character. Revisiting Shahin's acclaimed street art from the tumultuous times of the Egyptian revolution in 2011, this blacked-out version offers a fresh perspective, marking a milestone in his artistic journey. It beautifully combines tradition with innovation, represented by the combination of the silkscreened acrylic and aluminum detailing on the papyrus. Furthermore, the incorporation of modern technology in the form of an NFT crypto-chip not only authenticates the artwork but bridges the gap between tangible art and the digital realm. Each purchase grants collectors a digital counterpart on the Polygon blockchain, sealed with a digital Certificate of Authenticity. This holistic approach encapsulates the zeitgeist of our times, where art, technology, and history converge, reflecting the dynamic spirit of pop art, street art, and graffiti art.
