🟥 In celebration of youth culture and coming-of-age tropes, "NO, DON'T DISAPPEAR [WM-2]" from @SkyeNicolas' Walkman series elevates portable music devices such as the Sony Walkman as cerebral or dematerialized readymades. Declarative statements glide across the screen (often lifted from 1980’s and 1990’s era song lyrics), serve as both internal dialogue and a crucial visual detail to complete the digital painting’s overall composition. The result of this process of reduction and layered storytelling is a visually poetic distillation in which the viewer finds themselves occupying; an intangible dreamscape atmosphere arousing an induced nostalgia that seduces and captivates the senses.
