Artist of the Week Feb 2024: The title of this piece 'Raw Beauty' aptly conveys the impact of this image in a powerful way. Evan's art has a level of detail that is hard to ignore. The use of textural lines and the vivid colours, are reminiscent of natural forms; such as banded agate, the inside of a sea shell, or the pattern blown by the wind into the dust of the desert. The viewer is also drawn skilfully into the piece with the cunning use of perspective, leaving us breathless and awed by the mastery of the artist.  Details: Artist: Greene X Profile: @evan_greene_ Artwork: Raw Beauty 14

Artist of the Week Feb 2024: This striking piece of art conjures up notions of demonic cults, sinister nightmares and Satan worship. the artist Black Label Art Cult gives the viewer plenty of fodder for their imagination. The texture of this piece is like that of a vintage photograph which adds to the sense of realism this piece conveys. The artist gives us the impression that this figure may haunt the wilder fringes of our waking hours moaning, or possibly screaming, insanity into the winds.  Details:  Artist: Black abel Art Cult X Profile: @bl_artcult Artwork: Unnamed 

An NFT is a way of creating a unique digital object that can be owned and recorded on a blockchain. The easiest way to think about it is to imagine an artwork hanging in a gallery. Anyone can look at it, take a photograph of it or make a copy, but there is still an original artwork with a known history of ownership. NFTs brought a version of that idea into the digital world. A digital artwork can be copied and shared very easily. The image itself isn't necessarily what makes an NFT unique. Instead, the NFT contains information recorded on a blockchain that identifies a particular digital item and records its history. That can include who created it, when it was created, who has owned it and where it has been bought or sold. For artists, this opened up some interesting possibilities. A digital artist could create an artwork, sell it directly to a collector and have a record of that transaction without needing the artwork to exist as a physical object. NFTs aren't limited to art....

Artist of the Week Jan 2024: The work of Tiffatronn has an iconic style that has become synonymous with the NFT movement. In this piece 'Multiplicity' each layer and detail seems considered and yet spontaneous. Lookingdeep into the textures and layers the viewer finds small figures, stars, intricate pencil lines and sumptuous rivers of colour. The sense of peering inside the artists dreamscape is a subtle through line in Tiffa's pieces. Making the viewer feel strangely connected and intimate with the artist is a very moving way.   Details:  Artist: Tiffatronn X Profile: @tiffatronn Artwork: Multiplicity

Artist of the Week Jan 2024: This beautiful, lustrous, image of a flower depicts the majesty of mother nature in such an elegant way. The vibrant colours, and the use of the dark blue background, sends the viewer into a reverie of just how intricately life has evolved over millennia. Franca's powerful depiction highlights this mystery in such a masterful way, leaving the viewer feeling both awed and mystified in equal measure.  Details:  Artist: Franca Turrin X Profile: @francaturrin_ Artwork: Tetryon Dream

Artist of the Week Jan 2024: Perpetual Dream Maze has created a stunning image which sets the viewer to wondering. The dramatic red halo draws us in, and highlights, the figure with a bunch of flowers instead of a face.  The title 'Abstract of Mind' hints at a message of daydream or fugue, could the figure be that of the artist in the midst of creation? Or does the artist seek to represent the viewer in a mirror like fashion. Wonder upon wonder.   Details:  Artist: Perpetual Dream Maze X Profile: @perpetualdreamm Artwork: Abstract of Mind

Artist of the Week Jan 2024: The symbolism in this piece is beautiful. The young woman with the sad countenance sits cutting her hair, and from the ends comes the growth of leaves. This piece was created by Roya in solidarity with the women of Iran. The powerful, gentle, message of the resistance towards restrictive ideas of femininity  (symbolised by the hair) and the rebirth of something new and empowering (the leaves) is an uplifting and heart-breaking message for the brave young women Roya supports with this piece.  Details: Artist:  Roya Ghassemi  X Profile:    @_rOyart Artwork: WOMEN *LIFE *FREEDOM

This original NFT Weekly feature captures a moment in the early NFT art movement, bringing together artists who were creating, experimenting and finding their place in a rapidly changing digital world. Artist: Sam Spratt X Profile: @SamSpratt Artwork: Infinity Ceremony Sam Spratt has created a striking scene. Two primal figures, reminiscent of our ape ancestors, engage in a gentle exchange inside a cave. The male offers the female figure something that appears to be of great value, possibly water or food, inside a skull. The earthy tones surrounding this scene bring a sense of ancient intimacy, making us feel as though we are looking back at the very roots of human connection. The natural hues and cave-like setting transport us to a time before civilization, when survival and companionship were vital. Spratt's skill lies in his ability to show both the harshness of existence and the warmth of sentient interaction. He invites u...
