Cataract Smile @dead_osiris

$40.00
Artist Statement:
Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s surreal characters, Cataract Smile reimagines the Cheshire Cat’s enigmatic grin through a psychedelic lens, evoking the vibrant aesthetics of 1960s psych rock posters. This piece explores altered states of perception, much like the whimsical worlds Carroll created—possibly influenced by his own neurological experiences.

My artistic process with AI is an evolving dialogue, where fleeting ideas take shape through iterative refinement. Unlike traditional solitary creation, this method introduces an unpredictable exchange, where the gap between intention and result gives rise to something unexpected. Until our inevitable merger with AI, I take the philosophy of ‘good enough.’

Maestro Galleria Interpretation:
Cataract Smile is a psychedelic dive into the surreal, where nostalgia, technology, and the subconscious collide. The Cheshire Cat’s mischievous grin takes on new meaning, symbolizing the fluid nature of perception and reality. The visual echoes of 1960s psych rock posters amplify this theme, reinforcing the connection between art, altered states, and storytelling. The use of AI as a creative partner adds another layer—blurring the lines between artist and machine, intention and accident. In this space between the familiar and the unpredictable, Cataract Smile becomes an invitation to embrace the unknown, where meaning is constantly shifting, just like the grin that inspired it.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
