MetaButts is the latest art project from Los Angeles based Digital Graffiti Artist - Rektum. Over the past decade, Rektum has created numerous public works, both digitally and physically. After receiving viral attention for a billboard tag in 2012 that brilliantly transformed an ad for "Bunheads" to "Buttheads," Rektum has leaned into his niche of butt-related street art. Since then, his work has been featured in galleries and on walls across the globe.
MetaButts is a generative NFT project and Rektum’s first foray into the exciting new world of Web3. The collection consists of 4K one-of-a-kind 3D rendered butts made from over 500 different assets. Each trait has been meticulously modeled, textured, and rendered by Rektum himself using an approach that allows each butt shape to be uniquely different from the rest.
Like his previous work, MetaButts explores contradiction by juxtaposing a simple, tongue-and-cheek subject matter with a complicated and technical tool set. MetaButts serves to dismantle hate and negativity by reminding people not to take things too seriously and aims to develop a community built off of fun and creativity.
