FU#K YOU MONEY is a statement about the power of wealth to liberate - or corrupt. A man raises his middle finger in unapologetic defiance, set against a bright yellow backdrop, while a stream of dollar bills pours endlessly from his open mouth — a twisted cycle of excess. The raw, unapologetic imagery captures the attitude that money enables you to ignore societal expectations and live on your own terms.
But when money becomes identity, what’s left of the person? The work confronts the viewer with a paradox: does having “fu#k you” money truly buy indifference, or does it come at the cost of humanity itself?

Stylistic framework:
"FU#K YOU MONEY" is part of a series of (Neo-) Expressionist artworks titled "Oh Look! It's Us!" by DocT. Rooted in the late 20th-century movement, Neo-Expressionism emerged as a rebellious force against the abstract and conceptual art of its time, giving prominence to emotional intensity and the raw tapestry of human experiences. Within this series, a kaleidoscope of distorted yet powerfully authentic reflections of reality and the intricacies of the human condition and the current Zeitgeist is unveiled.
The fusion of static and animated pieces beckons viewers to embark on a journey into the abyss of existence's disarray. Each digital stroke and frame has been meticulously crafted to encapsulate the very essence of our shared human plight. Through somewhat chaotic brushwork and vibrant hues, the series embraces the profound and illuminates the enigmatic and unsettling aspects of life in an almost visceral manner.
