10/08/2021 Christie’s ‘No Time Like Present’ Auction Expected to Mark NFT Milestones

 

BeInCrypto –

Auction giant Christie’s hopes to set several milestones in crypto art history with its upcoming “No Time Like Present” auction.

The auction, scheduled to begin on September 17, will be based from Hong Kong, running for 11 days. This is special not least because, according to Christie’s themselves, the event will mark the first time an international auction house has ever made a non-fungible token (NFT) sale in Asia.

Furthermore, it will be the first time that some of the artworks have been offered outside of an NFT trading platform. Namely, Meebits, the latest creation to come out of Larva Labs. “No Time Like Present” will also be the auction house debut for Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC).

This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.
VARI-TEK
A unique changeable Visor pixel piece from Genuine Human Art. Enter the digital realm where physical form no longer holds meaning, where imagined worlds become reality and where the old rules have no power. This is the new present. This is now. This is VARI-TEK.

José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
