🟪 Wall St. Primates by @NorrieHarman

〰 📅 Date: Monday, December 30th

〰 🚀 Launchpad: SuperRare

〰 🧮 Supply: 1 of 1

〰 🎛 Format: Public Sale

〰 💰 Price: 2.5 ETH

〰 ℹ More Info: The painting Wall St Primates thrusts us into a visceral, near-future dystopia where the gilded citadel of global finance has crumbled into a derelict theater of primal chaos. Rendered in a fragmented, almost glitch-like aesthetic, the painting itself feels ruptured, as if struggling to cohere under the strain of its own themes. This is not merely a depiction of physical decay but an existential autopsy of a system that promised salvation yet delivered catastrophe. The brushstrokes are frenetic, the perspective warped—a mirror held up to the anxious psyche of late-stage capitalism as it collapses into the absurd. The work forces us to confront the fragility of structures we once deemed immutable.
