Title: Darkside of Value
Artist: Stanley Millz
Medium: Mixed Media on Real U.S. Bill(s)
Edition: 1 of 1
Description:
Darkside of Value reimagines power, control, and ego through the lens of wealth and identity. Handcrafted on real U.S. currency, this mixed-media original transforms a symbol of fear into a statement of cultural dominance — where empire meets economy, and influence becomes currency.
Draped in a gold chain reading “I AM YOUR FATHER,” the figure embodies the modern obsession with validation and hierarchy — a satirical crown over capitalism’s favorite villain. The graffiti, abstract crowns, and blueprint markings blend the visual language of rebellion with the discipline of fine art, reflecting the inner conflict between creation and corruption.
Every stroke, tag, and layered texture in Darkside of Value challenges the viewer to question what holds more weight — legacy, wealth, or control.
Part of the Blueprint Collection, this 1/1 piece stands as a stark reminder that even in the dark, value is defined by perspective — not possession.
