Artists Currently Displaying their NFT's
Aitana Basquiat
Aitana Basquiat is a digital artist with a variety of skills and tools. Her works revolve around fields such as Digital Fashion, CGI Beauty Photography, Music, Videos and Editorials. Creating designs around each of these domains have made her a master at configuring digital renderings which jump out at the viewer with their trippy, yet life-like and tactile presences. She focuses mainly on 3D art, as she believes that it is the perfect medium to combine her various artistic disciplines.
Aitana studied Art History and is currently working in Madrid. Her works have been included in several international exhibitions and events such as The Garden of Virtual Utopias - Art Night (London, 2017), Light Year 45: Post vision (Manhattan Bridge, New York, 2019) and Digital Art Exhibition Braw Haus x Ep7 (Paris, 2021), among others.
Eva Lili Bartha
Lili Eva Bartha is a postdisciplinary designer, whose work focuses on discovering new horizons in fashion and embodiment, with the use of innovative tools and cross-realm work. Her practice is led by her passion to improve the unsustainable state of the fashion system.
Working in multiple realms provides opportunity to connect the physical understanding of fashion with its digital expansion, while multisensorial and immersive experiences, informed by haptic and audio research in Virtual Reality, provide a platform to connect and communicate this diverse body of work.
Having a background that combines a scientific mindset with an innovative design thinking, results in a unique perspective on the creative sector. Initially trained to be an Applied Mathematician (Applied Mathematics MSc, University of Szeged), studying the building blocks of the universe drives Lili’s practice to question the definitive system of fashion itself, and reinvent the notion of ‘garment’ and ‘wear’.
Lili assisted bespoke designers in a number of countries (Mary Katrantzou, London; Manish Arora, Paris and New Delhi). She’s also been a freelance designer in London (KTZ London, Modern Mirror NY) while attending the Fashion MA course at the Royal College of Art. Her work has been showcased and exhibited in San Francisco (Arts of Fashion 2016), London (Immersive Kind Future of Fashion Showcase 2020, Royal College of Art SustainLab exhibition 2020) and Copenhagen (Copenhagen Fashion Week, CIFF 2018, AWOW Fashion Technology Showcase 2018).
Paulina Almira
Paulina Almira is a graphic designer, digital illustrator and NFT artist. Her art combines elements of technology, horror fiction, fashion, and the natural world to build bright, playful compositions with retrofuturism as an overarching theme. Her works are almost dream-like, shiny, colourful and unexpected. Through her visuals, she communicates messages that spark curiosity. Some of the repetitive elements in her art are mirrors, glasses and eyes, with the most dominant one being snakes. The irrationality of her works pushes the viewer to enter a surreal, bizarre, yet wonderful world, beyond one can imagine alone.
Paulina has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Information Design from Ateneo de Manila University as well as an Associate of Arts and Sciences in Fashion/Apparel Design from Parsons School of Design. She produces new artworks almost every day and is highly enthusiastic about minting them as NFTs.
Postwook
Natasha Chomko is a digital artist who mainly focuses on surreal landscape collage art with refined visionary and psychedelic elements. Her work combines snippets of landscapes from all over the globe to demonstrate how interconnected we all truly are. As a lifelong collager, Natasha challenges perception of shapes, colour, and texture to create entirely new universes out of pre-existing photos.
Natasha picked up collage in 2007 after drawing and painting didn‘t feel quite right, and always stayed close to the medium. After completing university with a BA in Political Science and working on a political campaign, Natasha felt creatively starved and sought out an outlet, once more turning back to collage. As a self taught artist, she never intended to become a professional artist but now strongly believes in the importance of therapeutic and self taught art.
Her fascination with copyright and open sourced content drive her dialogue in the web3 space, and she is committed to asking challenging questions to bridge the gap between art and technology. Today, Natasha continues working in LA and strongly believes in the future of digital art and decentralisation.
Rebel Society
The faces behind Rebel Society: a husband and wife duo, are named Elric and Frida. With a background in design and project management, they started their NFT collection of limited edition female characters, created from hand-drawn elements, stored as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.
Passionate about social equality, their collection is a modern take inspired by all the women who rebelled against society’s demands. Silenced, prosecuted, stereotyped, burned as witches, sexualized, body shamed, abused, and discriminated for centuries, women are now writing their own history where the future is female.
Through the Rebel Society initiative, the couple hopes to help other female artists bring their art to the world through the blockchain path.Owning a Rebel Society NFT also gives access to exclusive members only perks such as giveaways, voting rights, future drops and collabs.
Sarah Meyohas
Sarah Meyohas is a conceptual artist whose practice considers the nature and capabilities of emerging technologies in contemporary society. Using the familiar emblems of biological life, Meyohas investigates the complex operations that increasingly govern our world: soaring birds, created using augmented-reality software, flock in unison with the frenetic variations of the stock market; rose petals, aggregately identical but individually unique, comprise the dataset for their AI-created equivalents; Bitchcoin, a cryptocurrency backed by physical artworks, questions the speculative value of cryptocurrency and the ineffable value of art. Sarah creates an intelligible visual language to articulate the systems and technologies that increasingly influence our world.Sarah is based in New York and holds dual degrees in Finance and International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania and in 2015 received her M.F.A. from Yale University.
Her work has been exhibited in New York at Red Bull Arts, 303 Gallery, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art and internationally at institutions including the Barbican Centre, London, the Jameel Arts Center, Dubai, and the Ming Contemporary Art Museum, Shanghai. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Vice, and Artforum, and has appeared on CNBC, PBS, and CBC. Her film Cloud of Petals has been screened at various film festivals around the world, including the Slamdance Film Festival and the Locarno Film Festival. In 2017 she was named to the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
Shadi Ghadirian
Shadi Ghadirian is an Iranian artist best known for her series of photographs, “Like Every Day” and “Qajar Series,” which have brought her international acclaim.
Originally from Iran, Shadi emerged in 2000 among a generation of photographers prepared to tackle the confusing reality of a woman’s place in contemporary Iran and to play with understandings of the region. Through her work, Shadi critically portraits the challenges women living in Iran face, and the contradictions existing between tradition and modernity in everyday life.
Shadi studied photography at Azad University in Tehran, Iran. She has exhibited widely, participating in biennales in Russia, Sharjah (UAE); solo exhibitions in the US and India, and prestigious group shows including "Unveiled, New Art From the Middle East" at the Saatchi Gallery, London, and the touring Word Into Art exhibition at The British Museum and DIFC, Dubai. Shadi currently works at the Museum of Photography in Tehran/
Silia Ka Tung
Silia Ka Tung is an established artist, originating from China. Her works are a fusion of various cultures: from Chinese to Greek mythology, to Japanese manga, to Korean media and all the way to Hindu philosophy. She personifies traditional magic, wisdom and religion into contemporary morphologies which foreground a contesting naivete and innocence. The softness of the material she utilises and the blissful colour-palette distract from the underlying opaque narrative to suggest the intricacy of the human condition and natural order via an evolutionary transformation. In addition to her soft paintings, Silia also specialises in decorative sculptures.
Silia has a diploma in oil painting from the China Academy of Fine Art, a BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, and a MFA in Painting from Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, London.
She was part of a large number of exhibitions, with the following solo shows: HuaBao / Story Telling, MistHaus (Shenzhen, China, 2014); Chiral – Swiss Cottage Gallery (London, UK, 2008), GlaxoSmithKline Headquarters (Brentford, UK, 2007), Placebo - Galerie On dirait la Mer, Centre Design (Marseille, France, 2006); Follow Me - Jerwood Project space, Jerwood Space, Union St. (London, UK, 2005); and Games of Chance – [sub rosa] Dahl Gallery of Contemporary Art, (Zurich, Switzerland, 2003.)
