Under a Bitcoin Moon

Under a Bitcoin Moon — 2019

20" × 16" × 0.5" | Acrylic on Canvas
Original Contemporary Pop Art by Sharmaine Rayner

Mickey and Minnie sit cuddled together on a pile of cash beneath a very full Bitcoin moon.

At first glance, Under a Bitcoin Moon is playful, colorful, and a little ridiculous—in the best possible way. But beneath the familiar characters and tongue-in-cheek imagery is something more provocative.

Money. Love. Belief. Wealth. Desire.

Mickey and Minnie represent something deeply familiar and culturally ingrained. The pile of cash represents what so many people spend their lives chasing. And then there's the Bitcoin moon—an almost absurd symbol of the promise of getting rich, breaking free, or finding a new way to play the game.

There's a little red pill hiding in this painting.

Painted in 2019, Under a Bitcoin Moon captures a fascinating moment in the rise of cryptocurrency and the culture surrounding it—while leaving the viewer to decide what the painting is really saying.

The work is created in 5+ layers of acrylic paint and finished with a clear protective coating to help preserve the paint, color, and surface.
