30 Mind-Bending Artworks by 8TH PROJECT That Look Like Cartoons Got Cubism’d

What if Pokémon, SpongeBob, and anime heroes crashed into a Kandinsky painting and threw a party? That's 8TH PROJECT in a nutshell. French-born, Mexico-based since 2019, they mash up pop-culture icons with abstract geometry, bold colors, and eye-bending composition inspired by Kandinsky and Gestalt theory. Their feeds are full of vibrant prints with names like Geo Naruto, Lugia, Geo Goku and more, all starting around $250, some reaching the big leagues via Sotheby's 8th Project.

These 30 artworks hover between "I know that character!" and "What am I even looking at?" It's art that makes your brain do a double-take - and then a triple-tap on the Like button. Whether it's a commission piece riffing on Pokémon or a print called Memes Construct, there's a playful clash of nostalgia and abstraction that feels fresh and, weirdly, emotionally vibrant.

Below are 30 standout pieces to kick things off. Imagine your favorite childhood icons, reconstructed in a swirl of color and shape. This list is an invite to dive into 8TH PROJECT's evolving world—where pop culture meets pure artistry in geometric overload. So… let's scroll.
