Relief with Purpose

Relief with Purpose by Hulki Okan Tabak minted 2021 on Async Art

2 artworks based on World War I propaganda posters from the US. Relief is the sister piece to From The Plain People on Async Art. It is a piece derived from the same working material I've used in the KnownOrigin mints titled Belgian Relief Uncle Sam Arrives and Belgian Relief On the Ground. Relief with Purpose takes the same material and further glitches and complicates the situation on one larger canvas. It is the darker starker and also more experimental offshoot of this sub-heading in the greater World War I posters series.

The Great War, history, politics, art, posters and propaganda are topics of interest for me. It was kind of natural that I wanted to incorporate that in my cryptoart creations. The desire led to a selection of public domain pieces out of copyright from the Library of Congress archives. I created all sorts of derivative pacifist and tongue-in-cheek works. So far I have only minted a handful on KnownOrigin. Starting September 2021, I will mint a more comprehensive set on Async Art and KO depending on the nature of the final artwork. The artwork presented here is part of that World War I Posters set.
