This is an animated version of Jon Beinart's 12" x 12" oil painting, titled "Symbiosis". This animation was created especially for SuperRare in collaboration with Jon's good friend, Simbull. This piece was chosen as Jon's genesis NFT on SuperRare as the original painting is especially significant to him. The aim of this animation was to bring out the personalities of the elephish and monkeys through motion, while also representing their symbiotic relationship. In a sense the monkeys represent the chaotic and disjointed thoughts and feelings experienced by the Elephish, who still maintain a sense of peace and harmony, in spite of the chaos.
This animation is the first in a series of collaborations and all Eth raised by this NFT will be split 50/50 between Jon and Simbull.
