CURATORIAL STATEMENT
These past few years have brought immense pressure for artists to conform to the NFT market. But there’s a change in the air. The market has slowed. Now is the time for artists to rethink their trajectories and to unleash their creativity. This is a chance to be a part of history, to make something beautiful in the years when other artists were silent. A time that you’ll look back on with fond memories, knowing that you dug deep and kept creating, even when no one was watching. Will you return to your pre-crypto roots or embark on an adventure with new mediums, vibrant colors, and cutting-edge technologies? What ignites your inspiration in those unseen moments? With absolute freedom and a blank canvas, what will you bring to life? Curated by Virginia Valenzuela and Chris Kokiousis Presented live at Superchief Gallery NFT in New York City
EYE OF STORM
“I look to sparks of light cast from the dark ages; beacons reminiscent of futures; as notes echoing Hildegard's visions. Exponential truths from all sectors layer into our present while information is sourced of a commoditized intelligence. You are the eye of the beholder. giselx.art”
Stable Perspective
“In a vast expanse so deep and wide, Where stars twinkle, and worlds reside, A neon ring, vibrant and bright, Floats through the night, a glowing light. Upon the grid where futures are cast, Shadows of memories from futures past, Echoes of dreams and tales untold, In this cosmic dance, both young an...”
Histoires Naturelles –...
“The Night version of the Histoires Naturelles is the favourite version of Arthur and Leon. As soon as we have finished this digital twists they asked me if they could have this in their bedroom "c'est trop beau, Maman!"”
Histoires Naturelles –...
“For the Night version, I use a couple of Softwares that I call, My Digital Wonders. Since 2019, I can't get bored of loving to reverse the colours on my watercolour. I feel like Alice, falling in the rabbit hole, and seing the world in a new manner. The soft and gentle shades of the watercolours st...”
Bijou
“I created this artwork when I felt there was an enormous amount of pressure on my art career and also as a person. Adulting becomes harder and people change. Living abroad, I also have faced prejudice too. However, I turn pain into passion. My art will always stand for something in my life and the w...”
Yellow Wandering
“This work is very special to me, it´s a "Yellow" work, and it means hope, happiness, sun, and color, despite I am wandering for an unknown city, I am happy. I am gonna sleep here tonight.”
Just Hodl It
“A tribute to the icons of decentralization, the fight for liberated metaverse, the revolutionary spirit of crypto art and the beauty it gives birth to. What better moment to celebrate the fight if not when the fear is stronger than ever. This too shall pass one day. Just hodl it until it does.”
Bootlicking
“This performance was made on Sept 20th, 2023 at Studio #22C, 545 8th Avenue, NYC, between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Eleven participants confirmed their presence. Eight showed up. One performance had to be aborted for technical reasons. Seven performances were fully completed and presented in the video. ...”
LampadΞs
“A playful interpretation in tune with the spooky season.”
MA'MORTE AND CHILD
“A BEGINNING OF NEW STYLE OF WORK. CONSIDERING THE GEOPOLITICAL DANGERS WE'RE FACING AT THE MOMENT, I CAN THINK NOTHING MORE THAN PUTTING A VISUAL MIRROR TO THE HORRORS OF HUMANITY, IT'S 2023 AND WE HAVEN'T LEARNED A DAMNED THING YET. IF WE DON'T GET IT RIGHT THIS CENTURY, THIS MIGHT BE OUR LAST. ...”
The sinking
“Part of "The Resistance" collection.”

Histoires Naturelles –...
“The vision of (one of) the Artist, Lapin Mignon: "Histoires Naturelles is a collection of Art that echoes to the Natural Story of Art Randomisation Manifesto, written by the Artist Lapin Mignon, 11th August 2023, embracing the Art randomisation in its most natural process while the world was braci...”
La Muerte Que Da La Vi...
“Understanding death has always been an interest of mine as long as I can remember, probably because of coming face to face with it so often from a young age. However, since my mother's suicide a few years ago, I've been in deep mourning. It has been a complex journey unpacking the emotions around wh...”
