  4. EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY EXHIBITION 
"With ingenuity and wit Jones has re-worked his own take on this metaphorical mode of visual communication in his fascinating Picasso’s Bull. Playing with Picasso’s eponymous bull image, his trade mark fragmented still life and his famous use of collaged pieces of newspaper in the form of ‘journ” (“jou” in French means play, or game), Jones has turned his own pictorial iconography into an intriguing and entertaining puzzle of visual metaphor and puns." ~ Bill Hare

The artwork and Nft

Picasso was a creative genius and undeniably one of the 20th century's greatest innovators. My current body of work has been inspired by both Picasso's innovative masterpieces, his cubist period in particular, and the fast paced blockchain and cryptocurrency sector. 
Picasso's Bitcoin Bull will be the largest work in this exhibition at 140 x 140 cm and created with oil, wax, sand and bitcoin white paper on canvas. The painting can be scanned with the AR app CreativMuse as well as the Artivive app to engage the digital features and animation.

Edinburgh University exhibition

The world class Bayes Centre in Edinburgh University will be the location for my Crypto Picasso exhibition. Originally set for the end of the summer we’re now aiming for November to hold the event.
 
The Bayes Centre is the University's innovation hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. There is a community of over four hundred internationally recognised scientists, PhD students, leading industry experts and innovation support professionals, working together across disciplines and sectors to advance data technology and apply it to real-world problems.
 
Along with AI and blockchain technology the building houses the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics and, importantly, Valkyrie, one of only three Nasa-built robots and the only one outside the US. 

Update: Unfortunately due to Covid the exhibition at the university has been cancelled.  😟
