What happens when memes invade modernist abstraction? @batz.eth's "Modern Memeism" isn't just a remix of 20th-century art—it’s a full-scale mutation. A thread 👇

Curiosity (2023) – A Cubist fracture of form & meaning. Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon reimagined in a world where truth is endlessly questioned. Are we seeing the subject, or just the meme of the subject?

Pepedenza #2 (2023) – Batzdu’s Futurist moment. Where Boccioni captured the speed of machines, Batzdu dissects the motion of ideology itself. National symbols blur into abstraction, their meaning just another layer in the memeplex.

Art of This Millenium is a global gallery specializing in contemporary digital art.

Meme #96 (2024) – What if Mondrian’s Composition with Red, Blue & Yellow got corrupted in the digital void? Batzdu glitches the utopian purity of De Stijl, turning structure into chaos, harmony into recursion. The meme doesn’t break—it multiplies.

GeoMetric Pepe #52 (2022) – The meme infiltrates high modernism. Mondrian’s grid can’t escape Pepe’s stare. Like Lichtenstein flipping Abstract Expressionism into pop, Batzdu forces us to ask: Is art leading memes, or have memes consumed art?

"Modern Memeism" is not nostalgia—it’s a paradigm shift. Batzdu’s work shows that art is no longer about refinement, but mutation. The memeplex isn’t a tool; it’s the medium, the message, and the endless loop of cultural recombination.
