Mysteria Memetica
%2520Large.jpeg)
Mysteria Memetica by Ksenia Buridanova demonstrates her masterful command of Old Master techniques applied to contemporary internet iconography. The composition centers on a gathering of Pepe the Frog figures rendered with the kind of attention to light and shadow typically reserved for Dutch Golden Age portraiture. Each character is carefully positioned around a warm, glowing light source that illuminates their faces and creates dramatic contrasts in the surrounding darkness.
BMAG is honored to bring this artwork to auction for the very first time. Originally scheduled for a Bitcoin-themed show at Christie's New York, which was cancelled when they dissolved their digital art department, this painting is fit for the highest-end settings, and we're pleased to have it as our first as BMAG.
