Central Bank Intel (2024) is a razor-sharp fusion of urban power and surreal wit—Jonas Stirner at his most enigmatic. At first glance, the piece presents itself like classified intel from a modern metropolis: a towering gold antenna, corporate glass, modular red-and-white architecture. But tucked into the frame, almost like a secret, is a green square with a pair of illustrated legs dangling midair—playful, eerie, and entirely unexpected.

This piece operates like a visual cipher. Every section feels precise, even surgical, yet nothing is entirely clear. The palette is cold and calculating, but the surface is rich with hand-worn texture, as though the image has been redacted and reassembled. Stirner plays with the language of institutions—banks, signals, surveillance—and then subtly mocks it with the absurdity of floating limbs and fractured reflections.

Central Bank Intel doesn’t ask to be solved. It asks to be watched, studied, and lived with. It’s for a collector who craves tension between form and freedom, architecture and emotion, order and irony. In a world of polished façades, this piece dares to glitch.
