Molecule Art
Molecule Art is a form of abstract art that involves using molecular structure and compounds to compose an image.[1]
Compounds
The compounds often relate to the target image or meaning of the piece. Artist 'Uokram' uses illicit drug compounds in pieces about drug addiction and sobriety, often including niche drugs such as SN-22 and Desoxypipradol to bring awareness to relatively unknown drugs.[2] Artist 'Lucy Walker' created a piece depicting a honeybee composed of glucose, fructose, gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, in relation to the sugary honey the bee produces.
Molecular Accuracy
Following real bonding and molecular structure rules is not a priority for molecular artists. Some attempt to follow these structure protocols as much as possible, artist 'Uokram' said,
"...I try to follow the rules of molecular structure and chemistry, for example, an oxygen can have no more than 2 bonds, if I decide to draw a methoxy (double bonded oxygen) group, I can not make any further links to that oxygen."[3]
