The Cheshire Cat grins into focus as piano keys spiral down the rabbit hole in a print by Alpha Centauri Kid.

Wonderland is one of two works from Piano Blossoms inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice. In both cases, a.c.k. considers what other mysteries hide behind the looking glass.

Unlike earlier works which introduce glitches to obscure figures, the artwork began as an abstract landscape. a.c.k. then scoured the composition for hidden figures he could unearth by tweaking colours, defining outlines and reordering layers.

The 12k digital artwork was transformed into a physical object by printmakers at Make-Ready in London, who worked closely with a.c.k. to introduce layers of texture and glossy highlights to the surface of the print.

Alpha Centauri Kid

7 collaborations

Alpha Centauri Kid minted his first artwork on-chain in 2021. Now, he’s a leading artist in the space. This might sound like an overnight success, but a.c.k. has been making art and music since his teens. After record-breaking bidding wars on his Superrare debut, a.c.k. left his government day job (which he’d been in for fourteen years) to take on art full-time. His aesthetic spins in many different directions. Gifs like Dark Red Death have an internet-goth-Renaissance vibe, while you will n̶o̶t̶ surely die could easily be an Abstract Expressionist painting. les femmes glissées has a Cubist style in a nod to Picasso, but The Great Restoration looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie. Even though a.c.k.'s work is massively varied, one thing is always present – a story.
