THIS week’s Crypto Corner centres around the symbolic artworks of contemporary artist Gillian Linden, who has long been recognised for her evocative, shape-shifting figurative works that invite reflection through layered imagery and subtle dimensionality.
Based in the Domestic Bliss, Happily Anxious and Holding it All Together exhibit in JARO Gallery, her piece, entitled The Bitcoin Rabbit, speaks to the independence that Bitcoin represents, a morphing figure that moves through various scenes and identities, yet always retains one consistent feature: a rabbit ear shaped like a Bitcoin.
This defining accessory, subtle yet unmistakable, remains constant no matter how the character’s form or the environment changes. The Bitcoin Rabbit is not just a symbolic figure; its presence adapts and moves while carrying a single thread of identity throughout.
The series stands apart from her wider body of work, which spans lenticular installations, relief printmaking and layered visual storytelling grounded in emotional and sensory experience. In contrast, the new body of work retains her signature dimensional techniques, introducing a more focused exploration of symbolic continuity in an otherwise shifting world.
“Art is for seeing and experiencing and being in touch with our senses,” she says. “It’s a moment in time captured to reflect, embrace, identify with or be captivated by its nuances. This series allows me to explore the idea through a character that’s playful yet constant in its symbolism.”
Moneybrain Global is an ever-evolving global crypto exchange domiciled in Jersey, British Isles, that recognises The Bitcoin Rabbit for its unique jumping and frolicking energy. We are exploring options to bring Gillian’s art into the mainstream and make it purchasable through cryptocurrency, marking a new phase in how physical artworks can be collected in the digital economy, merging fine art with new modes of exchange.
With The Bitcoin Rabbit, Gillian Linden continues to blur boundaries between the physical and symbolic, the changing and the permanent, while offering a fresh lens on how to identify and how meaning is shaped over time.
