Phil is a street photographer based in Chicago. His work focuses on low-light and cinematic moments, often highlighting isolated figures.

Familiar Mystery

Edition 1 of 1

A puppeteer drops characters in and out of the scene, shadows moving left and right. And for those who pay attention, a beautiful dance plays out in the underbelly of the city. The figures vary only slightly, we know what they are, not who they are. The unknown, packaged in a familiar shape. Friendly, yet cold. Loving, yet distant. Familiar, yet mysterious. Shadows moving left and right.

HOLLADAY SALTZ

Ex-perfumer exploring the visual and emotional dimensions of aromas.

Osmogenesia 1: Indole

Edition 1 of 1

Indole, an aromatic organic compound produced by flowers, bacteria, and the human body, is a by-product of the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan. It features heavily in the smell of decomposition, but also in the smell of sex– both human and vegetal. Indole is woven through the natural world, present in situations of transition and transcendence. It smells of rot, naptha, something strangely sweet and enticing, equally repulsive and mysterious. Formula: C8 H7 N Molecular weight: 117.15 Appearance: white to amber yellow crystalline solid powder — This piece was exhibited at the SuperRare gallery in NYC June 2022 as a part of the ‘ICONS’ show celebrating queer artists in web3. 100% of the proceeds of this piece will be donated to The Backstreet Cultural Museum in New Orleans, a unique and irreplaceable collection honoring the history and beauty of Black Masking Culture.

PARSONS

Aura No. 4

Edition 1 of 1

Light is synonymous with life, forming the basis for which all life flourishes. Follow the light. Allow the light to illuminate life’s path, a divine guide for those that feel lost and need to find their way back home to themselves. Creating like a jazz musician, everything happens in the moment. The subject was shot in Los Angeles in March 2022. This represents No. 4 of 5 works from Parsons GENESIS collection, his first solo NFT exhibition held in NYC in May 2022.

THEO CHRONIS

Multi-disciplinary visual artist. Exploring figuration, abstraction, digital and physical art.

La belle noiseuse (the beautiful troublemaker)

Edition 1 of 1

This token is based on one of my physical paintings created in 2015 and digitally remastered and retouched in 2022. It is inspired by Honoré de Balzac’s short story “The unknown masterpiece”. In the story, Frenhofer was an aged master of impeccable artistic ability, who had devoted more than a decade to creating one “perfect” work of art. He never showed his masterpiece to anyone, but he often spoke about it being his greatest achievement. When the artwork is dramatically revealed in the end of the story, to the two protagonist’s surprise, it is a mess of brushstrokes and colours from which a life-like woman’s foot emerges. Since it’s publication in 1831, many artists have been inspired by Balzac’s novella, notably Cezanne, Picasso and De Kooning. Creating this work presented the obvious challenge of re-enacting the never-ending painting described by Balzac and it is of course informed by numerous historical paintings of the female nude – mostly by male artists. But going further than that, I wanted to touch upon the problem of artwork completion and setting the bar too high (or too low): how do artists know when an artwork is complete? What is “beauty” or “perfection” and are they ever achievable? The pursuit of an impossible vision can create a vicious cycle of experimentation and revision and the artist’s creative force itself can often lead to uncertainty and doubt with self-destructive consequences. In a way, this work is also autobiographical: what is shown in the work is as important as what has been painted over, erased, or smeared. More than a finished picture, a document of the Sisyphean artistic process, imprinting the excitement of every successful stroke and the despair of every error. Like many of my works, a painting about painting itself.

Woman without a face

Edition 1 of 1

“Woman without a face” is an exploring dream. An unsettling and playful universe, which plunges the reader into a joyful illogical mix of colors and shapes, inspired by the Pop-art and Surrealist movements. It is about deepening the formalistic relationship between images set in various contexts.

ALEY

About life, which we understand, each in its own way.

The Value of Freedom

Edition 1 of 1

There’re so many decisions we could make that we don’t think much about, but they are fundamental. Such decisions in our lives as being tolerant, being free from prejudices, having an open mind give us endless freedom in a broad sense. We can have own opinion on each of the questions of the Universe. Nevertheless our nature speaks for us, it doesn’t require tolerance. Our souls are hostages of prejudice in a human shell. It’s up to us to free release. It’s in our will to submit to true desires. Our essence is in search of truth. Freedom is truth.
