"THE CITADEL (1)" by @PepenardoStudio "Nardo’s work transcends Bitcoin’s surface level tropes, investigating its deeper memetic and ideological currents to create a nuanced visual narrative. He reframes Bitcoin’s history as a modern mythology, rich with symbolic resonance. In his Fresh Impact exhibition in Abu Dhabi, Nardo referenced the franchise Subway, an early adopter of Bitcoin, not merely as a commercial milestone but as a metaphor for consumption: the act of devouring fast food paralleling the relentless absorption of digital information and memes. Similarly, his recent painting, The Citadel v. Nardo draws from a 2013 Reddit post by the so-called Bitcoin Time Traveler, transmuting an obscure fragment of Bitcoin’s lore into a visually compelling narrative that echoes art-historical traditions."
