Rulton Fyder, BTC, 2021
As an artist, one of my ultimate drives is to relentlessly document and share my emotions and experiences with my visual language and engaging in meaningful art dialogues with artists past or present. When there's informational discrepancy between the two worlds, there is time for phenomenal art to happen. - Rulton Fyder, 2021
The anonymous artist Rulton Fyder is best known for his recontextualization of other artists’ works to capture time and emotion in the NFT art realm. He utilizes the sense of familiarity elicited from these works to add new conceptual layer and imagery and create completely new works. They document and archive our current society and times while having the artist’s self-inquisitive journey in the rapidly advancing digital age, characterized by the endless circulation, reshuffling, remixing and exchange of ideas.
Through Fyder’s artistic exploration, he has engaged in dialogues with works from his contemporaries and past phenomenal artists who have left marks in the history of conceptual art – Barbara Kruger, John Baldessari, Richard Prince, Christopher Wool, and others. Fyder creates works that incorporated found artworks and images from the past key historical events; structuring works around spontaneous relationships between elements and through the work leave ample hints for the viewers to decipher the artist’s intentions.
