FAKEPEPCASSO.PURPLE

Oil pastel, pen & pencil on A4 card
21.0 x 29.7 cm

Fake Rare sub asset, Series 5, Card 20

By Zima Blue (2021)

FAKEPEPCASSO.PURPLE was created during the infamous 'purple period' in the Fake Rare community. As purple dominated the culture at the time, Zima Blue felt compelled to ditch his usual blue palette in exchange for his purple pastels

The original FAKEPEPCASSO is an interpretation of Pablo Picasso's Guernica, which expresses the horror of war

This purple version takes perhaps an even more sinister turn. A distraught mother holds her dead pepe baby, a bear swoops down from the sky to warn of a catastrophic market crash, Pepe's hand reaches out in desperation trying to escape

The piece has been professionally mounted & framed in London within a vintage solid wooden frame. It is signed & dated by Zima Blue on the reverse

“Little is known about Zima's history.
It was said that he started his art career in portraiture, but for Zima, the human form was too small a subject.

The search for deeper meaning caused him to look further. To the cosmos itself”
