Cubist Guitars in Digital Color Space revisits Nick Fudge’s early digital works through the lens of contemporary Gen-AI, creating recursive feedback loops between past and future—where each cycle of reanimation generates unexpected, new outcomes.

Originally based on a 2010s animation featuring nine stylised cubist guitars, the series draws on multiple layers of reference: Picasso’s early modernist guitar constructions, Jasper Johns’s 1960s investigations into the syntax of painting, Warhol’s Pop embrace of mechanical reproduction, and Fudge’s own long-standing engagement with the materiality of digital tools...

Hidden from human eyes, deep in the desolate vastness of the Gobi Desert, PataPaint is a hidden sign—a work designed for nowhere and everywhere, at once present and absent. This solar-powered beacon of absurdity thrives where no one dares go, and yet, it signals.

PataPaint is not for conventional art lovers. It is a 'pataphysical work designed to mock and transcend your notions of what art and the artist can be. Created by Nick Fudge, PataPaint expresses ineffable insights of metaphysical intuition and reality-unreality perception.
