Ken Solomon’s artwork represents much more than the heroes and icons he paints in this series. Solomon painstakingly captures reconstructed snap shots, moments in time and space, capturing movement when subjects whom are perfectly still, and perfect calmness and arrested time despite objects in motion. A legendary artist – Solomon as been featured in MoMA and his works can be found in high profile collections worldwide.
Tonight marks the beginning of Ken Solomons historic genesis NFT drop with an artwork of historic significance – Jackie Robinson.
As many know, Jackie Robinson baseball cards are some of the most sought after in the card collecting industry. This 1948 Leaf card is iconic and the true rookie card for Jackie Robinson. The image of Jackie Robinson in the blue Brooklyn Dodgers cap jumps off the simple yellow background of the card - it's truly striking.
In Solomons own words: “Creating these cards was an intense, obsessive process; eliminating my hand and revealing the time lapse and evolution of the painting. This painstaking work is also my bliss.”
