On February 22, 2024, artist and filmmaker Michael Nash along with 222 artist made history when their artwork was included in an arts and humanities time capsule that landed on the surface of the moon aimed to preserve the story of our civilization through the perspective lens of 222 artist.
Nash’s work blurs the boundary between traditional fine art and artificial intelligent code through a hybrid approach of both mediums. At the core of Nash’s work, one experiences a narrative illuminating a self-promoting world, fueled by endless self hype, where humans have become the commodity and social ranking is manifested through hashtags, digital likes and followers. Nash’s work builds on the vast shoulders of Warhol representation of the power and seduction of the fame game. The artist has put a mirror to society, asking us all to identify with our own exposure to self-promotion. The artist works echo his own exposure to an over hyped society. Nash’s work is collected by A-list celebrities, high net worth individuals, and others.
Nash is also an award winning filmmaker. In 2010 by MovieMaker Magazine named Nash as one of the “Top 10 Filmmakers Of The Planet.” Nash founded Beverly Hills Productions and Nash Film. He has been an alumni of the Sundance Film Festival for years. His production company has produced several award-winning films, distributed theatrically, on network/cable television and multiple streaming platforms both domestically and internationally.
Nash is the honored recipient of the Social Change Global Institute Filmmaker of the Year Award, the California Conservation Champion Award and the Neiman Marcus Humanitarian Visions Filmmaker Award. He sits on the UN advisory panel focused on “creating content for positive change” and is a global keynote speaker on issues on humanity, climate stress, food security and migration.
This collection was inspired by a film treatment about a Native American girl who travels back in time to warn the past about the dystopian future they will live in, if they don't change their way of life.
"Warhol Had" is an evocative art collection by Nash, inspired by the global travels and conservation work captured through the his travels shooting films. This collection delves into the narrative of societal transformation, juxtaposing the purity of Warhol's era—where basic needs like drinkable water, clean air were abundant—with the present-day reality of environmental degradation. Nash’s works poignantly illustrate the stark contrast between the past and the present, highlighting humanity's ongoing conflict with nature and the pollution of our precious natural resources. Nash's work delves into this dichotomy, reflecting on the pristine world Warhol once inhabited and the polluted reality we face today. The artist integrates his futuristic "Gasmask Time Traveler" motif into several pieces, creating a haunting commentary on our current ecological crisis. The gasmask, a stark emblem of survival in a toxic world, traverses through time within Nash's artwork, symbolizing the urgent need for environmental stewardship and a return to the purity that Warhol experienced. This collection is a compelling call to action, urging us to rethink our relationship with the environment and the legacy we leave behind.
