Merz Street Art

#streetart. Found objects are transformed into art then returned close to their original locations.

Love the irony of my tender title. In reality it was just the beginning!
Adding new editions to my collection & have been so lucky to have won some fab prizes.
And... a lifetime memory of the visit to Damien's studio & meeting the man himself. Wow!

Last minute entry! Never happened before but I had a post deleted! Feel like a real community rebel! Rock on the next year! 🖼️🖼️🖼️

What a year! The toughest decision to burn this beauty! What am I going to tell my grand children!??? A fitting title...but I genuinely feel it could be just the beginning rather than an end. Heres to the next year! 🖼️🔥

What I have really enjoyed are the teaser posts that send the community into a frenzy of thoughts, ideas, fantasies, theories and speculation. 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️.........'Who ordered the cherry blossom pizza?🍒🌸'

Highlight over the past year has to be the welcoming team at the burn event. Meeting the lovely mods and fellow members, experiencing the surreal performance and watching original Hirst paintings go up in smoke. How often does that happen! 🖼️🔥🖼️🔥🖼️🔥🖼️🔥

@hirst_official @HENI Is the “art” of printmaking dead? 🖼️love the images but these are photo reproductions. Will we get to see wood cuts, screen prints, litho’s etc…ever again? …Would love one of these though saying that! 🖼️

[Merz Street Art @MerzStreetArt]

Tried to think of a single image to sum up the amazing discord journey I’ve had since buying my first NFT! Loved being part of the community and all the fun and games and ups and downs along the way. 🖼️❤️@HENI #TheCurrency.

@HENI #TheCurrency Thinking of community moments over the past year, I got the Hitchcock Psycho moment! FOR GODS SAKE! I BURNT AN ORIGINAL HIRST PAINTING! The communities shared thoughts & knowledge helped shaped my decision, & when DH decided to keep his 1000 I felt assured 🖼️❤��

@HENI #TheCurrency
The cherry blossoms inspired me to get painting again. Paint, texture & mark making are now back in my life! This is work in progress, sipping a beer & enjoying the Italian landscape. Cin Cin to the community, Heni &, DH for the inspiration. What a year🖼️🖼️❤️

[Merz Street Art @MerzStreetArt]

@HENI #TheCurrency
I feel that the emphasis and drama of burning art has been very focussed on the physicals. But…think of those thousands of NFTs that are no longer in existence! They are Damien’s first & IMO they will be important part of art history. A year on, no regrets. 🖼️

[Merz Street Art @MerzStreetArt]

@HENI @hirst_official I’m in! Would love one. Amazing comp. 🖼️🖼️🖼️

Being at the Currency burn event was like witnessing the most spectacular piece of performance art. The day was exciting, surreal, theatrical and it was amazing meeting fellow community members. Love this journey, wherever it may end up! ❤️
