TOKYO PUNKS BY SABET ART IS THE UTILITY. LOVE IS THE ROADMAP. 4850 HAND PAINTED, ORGANICALLY GENERATED NFTS Inspired by Ali Sabets first trip with his family to Tokyo at a very young age in the 1980s during the street punk movement. Seeing real Punks on the streets of Tokyo fundamentally changed the way I see color, shape and form. The wild mohawk wearing punks were something out of this world. The clothing, the vibrant colors, leather and spikes!! These images were seared in my brain for the rest of my life. Sabet

DREAMS BY SABET

THE STORY OF HOW I MET PICASSO - Was it all a dream?

Imagine a world where reality and dreams beautifully blur their boundaries. In such a world, Pablo Picasso casually strolled into Peet's Coffee, my creative sanctuary for many an undisturbed year. As the aromatic allure of coffee beans filled the air, our conversation took an unexpected turn. I found myself showing Picasso my art, the rhythm of my soul conveyed through brushstrokes.

The unimaginable happened. Picasso proposed a collaboration, an extraordinary fusion of past and present, tradition and innovation. Entranced by the audacious vibrancy of "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", I wondered if I could re-imagine this epoch-defining masterpiece. Picasso's enthusiastic affirmation still echoes in my ears.

A dream, so profound and electrifying, it barely seemed ephemeral. I awoke with a vivid clarity, an irrepressible urge to bring this dream-inspired collaboration to life. Reflecting on the monumental task of reinventing a Picasso masterpiece, I pondered deeply on the direction, the kaleidoscope of colors, and the underlying themes that would form the fabric of my creation.

The honor of Picasso's proposition, albeit in the realm of dreams, remains a cherished memory. The final outcome of this spectral collaboration thrills me to my core, blending my artistic voice with Picasso's legendary genius in an unexpected symphony of art.  
THE ART:

"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," a seminal work by Pablo Picasso, has long been revered as a cornerstone of modern art. Painted in 1907, it marked the genesis of Cubism, challenging traditional forms of representation and prompting a rethinking of the direction of visual art. The piece depicts five nude female prostitutes from a brothel on Carrer d'Aviny, a street in Barcelona. Picasso's fragmented, geometric treatment of their forms, and his incorporation of Iberian and African art influences, shattered conventional norms, laying a new path for the art world.

Ali Sabet, a contemporary artist, has, in his own distinct way, similarly pushed against conventional boundaries. His work is known for its depth of emotion, poignant use of color, and an often dreamlike quality. The fusion of Eastern and Western influences in his work mirrors Picasso's own synthesis of different artistic traditions in "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". This correlation can be seen as a thematic thread binding the two artists together, although they operate in different periods and contexts.

Ali's vision, emboldened by a dream where he collaborated with Picasso, has led him to reimagine "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". This daring project illuminates a dialogue between two artists who, though separated by time, share a love for innovation, a disregard for the status quo, and a profound respect for the transformative power of art. The intertwining of Ali's own unique artistic language with Picasso's groundbreaking Cubist style brings a fresh perspective to the original masterpiece, creating a vibrant homage to Picasso's legacy and a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of art.
