NFT Weekly

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: rOyart X Profile:    @_rOyart Artwork: WOMEN *LIFE *FREEDOM

NFT Weekly began as a way of discovering and sharing the work of artists working in the NFT space. Each issue brought together a group of artists, usually around nine, and gave readers a chance to discover a range of different styles and approaches in one place. As the archive has grown, I have started to look at those early articles differently. They are not just old articles. They are a record of the artists who were working in this space at a particular point in time, and of what the NFT art world looked like as it was developing. Because of this, NFT Weekly is changing its format. Rather than featuring nine artists in each weekly post, each week will now focus on one artist . The artists being featured are not necessarily new artists. Many will be artists who have appeared in NFT Weekly before. Their work is being revisited and given its own space, rather than being lost amongst the other artists in an older article. The original articles are being preserved as part of the NFT Week...

Nine artists, nine different approaches to digital art. 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...

A look back at nine artists featured by NFT Weekly during the early years of the NFT art movement. Discover the artists, styles and ideas that were part of a rapidly changing digital art world Artist: Data Velvet X Profile:  @DataVelvet Artwork: River of the Sun Data Velvet has created a stunning piece with such  peaceful and vibrant beauty. The way the trees, and the rays of the sun, snake out of the darker areas of the composition is so effective. The piece has a traditional Japanese feel to it, especially in the stylisation and the use of colour. A truly gorgeous piece and an artwork which encourages the viewer to sit and admire the intricate details in the landscape.   Artist: Grace Anata X Profile:  @grace_anata Artwork: Help Me Breathe The wafting fabric and the nude, unfocused, figure give this piece ethereal beauty. The sense of movement is enhanced by the way the figure emerges out of the black background. This piece has a Man Ray type simplicity to it ...

Nine artists, nine different visions of digital art. This original NFT Weekly feature captures a moment when artists were exploring new ways to create, share and collect art online. Artist: Arya Bima X Profile:  @rearyabaim Artwork: Present This quirky piece, by Arya, has a fantastical quality to it like a more classical version of the Surrealist Salvador Dali. The details are delicate and beautiful, the brains in a covered dish and the little yellow butterfly, for example, have a natural history element to them, which is both whimsical and interesting. This is a very seamless work and the muted tones and creative imagery make it a wonderful artwork to view.   Artist: Oveck  X Profile:  @oveck Artwork: Balance Oveck's piece is such a beautiful work, with such a lovely colour palette. The central figure appears to be melting or succumbing to the power emanating from the omnipotent hand from above.  The two figures behind have an alie...

Shakti Gomez is an artist who stands out in the world of NFTs for her use of red, black, and grey tones which evoke a moody and intense atmosphere in her work. She skillfully uses the female form as a central motif, creating striking and beautiful images that capture the attention of the viewer.  Her work is recognisable for its mysterious and beautiful style, which exudes an aura that is both captivating and alluring.   Shakti's  use of colour and form creates a haunting and surreal world that draws the viewer in, leaving them both mesmerized and unsettled. The attention to detail in her work is also pleasing, with every line carefully placed to create an atmosphere that celebrates sensuality and mysticism.  Shakti's' work is an exploration of the occult with each piece conveying a message that goes beyond the surface, drawing inspiration from the supernatural and mystical world. Her work is truly unique, with its haunting imagery and subtle symbolism. Sha...
