Cess - N for Pollock — The Artphabet

N for Pollock — The Artphabet
Edition 1/10 — 60 x 60 cm

This work is part of The Artphabet, an artistic project developed by the digital artist Cess, in which every letter of the alphabet pays tribute to key figures in modern art and visual culture.

In this piece, the letter N is transformed into a tribute to Jackson Pollock, reinterpreting his revolutionary dripping technique and his radical approach to painting as action. Typography becomes a living canvas where gesture, chance, and energy are the true protagonists.

The surface of the letter is covered with a complex network of splashes, strokes and color layers that evoke Pollock’s characteristic visual language. Vibrant tones —yellow, red, blue and black— intertwine in a chaotic yet surprisingly balanced composition, generating a sense of continuous movement and dynamic tension.

The piece is presented on an easel, reinforcing the direct connection with the painting process and placing the work at the boundary between painting and sculpture. This element introduces a performative dimension, alluding to the physical act of creation that defined the artist’s practice.

The three-dimensionality offers a new contemporary reading, translating gestural painting into the digital space, where the painting’s matter gains volume, texture and physical presence. The result is a work that captures the intensity of the artistic gesture and transforms it into an object.

The work has been created through a completely digital 3D (CGI) process, crafted by hand with special attention to the layering of surfaces, texture and color interaction, achieving a rich, expressive and highly dynamic aesthetic.

The Artphabet has enjoyed wide international reach, being disseminated in numerous design, art and visual culture outlets, establishing itself as one of the most prominent artistic typography projects in the recent digital realm.

Cess is an artist specializing in digital art, CGI and artificial intelligence, with a solid track record in the creative sector, having collaborated with international brands such as Apple, Google, Prada, Vogue and MTV, among others.

The work is presented in high-quality Giclée print on polycotton canvas, ensuring excellent color reproduction, texture and the intensity of the digital original.
