ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This painting cleverly taps into the mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto, the unknown creator of Bitcoin. The image features a hand confidently pressing a doorbell marked "Nakamoto," an action that hints at knowing the identity of someone no one has ever met or confirmed. It plays with the idea of impossible access. Ringing a bell to a name shrouded in secrecy, as if one possesses the ultimate insider knowledge. Alongside the bell, a ribbon bearing the words “Probably Nothing” humorously downplays the monumental significance of Nakamoto's identity, a common phrase in crypto culture used to describe what often turns out to be something huge. This adds a layer of irony, inviting the viewer to ponder whether we’re ever truly on the brink of discovery, or if it's all just a façade. Inspired by the intrigue surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto and the broader crypto culture, this piece explores the human fascination with hidden identities and unreachable figures. Nakamoto's anonymity has been a central enigma in the world of digital currency, and this painting captures the absurdity and allure of trying to "ring the doorbell" of someone no one has ever seen or known. It symbolizes the cryptic nature of the decentralized world, where knowledge and control feel both within reach and forever distant. Probably Nothing evokes a sense of intrigue, curiosity, and irony. The act of pressing Nakamoto's bell is a metaphor for the constant chase for hidden truths and elusive knowledge in both crypto and life. It’s a playful nod to the tension between knowing and never truly knowing, between reality and the mysteries we create.

"Art is the hammer with which we shape the future, because art converts the truth and knowledge of our society into codes and translates them into culture." Artistic Background: Felix Pensel is a German artist whose body of work spans a variety of mediums, from painting and drawing to digital media and installations. His journey started with graffiti in his youth, which evolved into a distinct abstract, typographic style. He studied media design and specialized in illustration and new media, blending traditional techniques with modern innovations. Artistic Approach: Pensel’s work is a dialogue between the past and present, deeply influenced by the meticulous precision of Dürer, the rebellish character of graffiti and his own fascination with cosmology and physics. His creations deconstruct the boundaries of matter and meaning, exploring the complexities of contemporary life. Through a fusion of media, ranging from acrylic, spray paint, and oil to digital tools, sound, poetry, and performance, Felix constructs multi-layered narratives that challenge the viewer to engage both emotionally and intellectually. His exhibitions are immersive experiences, blending traditional gallery formats with installations that invite interaction and discovery. Mediums: Acrylic Oil Spray Paint Digital Media Sculpture Sound, Music, Voice Poetry and Storytelling Installation and Performance Artistic Themes: Cosmology & Physics Deconstruction of Matter The Chaos of 21st-Century Life Discovery & Interpretation Balance between Abstract & Figurative Art Key Works: Felix’s black-and-white drawings resemble intricate treasure maps, consisting of thousands of tiny drawings, patterns, and texts. These complex creations offer viewers a chance to explore hidden details and magic within. His paintings, on the other hand, balance abstraction and figuration, using high contrasts to add depth and volume to shapes, which represent the fragmented nature of modern life. Philosophy: “My art is an invitation to explore. I believe in the power of ambiguity and the richness of interpretation. By deconstructing shapes and ideas, I aim to push the boundaries of reality and truth, offering viewers a chance to engage deeply with the chaotic beauty of the world inside and around us.”
