Chad Knight is a 3D Instagram artist whose work has gone viral, starting a pervasive internet rumor that his art was a real-life place in Japan. He recently sold a record-breaking $400,000 worth of art on the NFT platform Nifty Gateway.
As a natively digital painter, Peter Mohrbacher has produced works that have been widely collected through Limited Edition prints. Mohrbacher’s iconic “Angel of Night” has had a sizable impact on the way pop culture depicts angels. You can see shades of his influence throughout the digital art world and spot references peeking through in movies, video games and other media.
NFN Kalyan is an Indian-American artist living and working in Miami. Kalyan participated in the earliest drops on Nifty Gateway, where his works enjoyed great popularity. As he continues to expand his influence in crypto arts, his drops have always sold out in less than a second. At auctions, the bids for his pieces could increase 30–40 times the original prices.
Klarens Malluta is an Albanian visual artist. He has been creating artworks, posters and animations every day since 2017, experimenting with different software and techniques to generate original visual content. Inspired by elements of the 1980s, he expresses himself through a modern style described as retro-futuristic, glitchy and very playful.
Shan Qiao is an award-winning artist who has worked with some of the biggest companies in video game and film production, including Blizzard Entertainment, Riot Games and Tencent. His work can be seen in top games, such as Overwatch, CrossFire and League of Legends. Shan is currently a concept artist with Sony’s Santa Monica Studio, where he is working on the famous God of War series.
Peter Chan currently lives and works in Toronto, Canada. Chan’s narrative themes can be considered autobiographical, though the artist often explores critical themes of East Asia. In his work, he distorts and recomposes imagery to form compositions that allow for new narratives and meaning. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions worldwide including Hong Kong, London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Montreal and Toronto.
The nonfungible tokens included in the Genesis Blind Box Series will only be minted once purchasing has closed. Popular NFTs may take 24–48 hours to appear in a user’s account.
Details of the Genesis Blind Box Series are now available at https://wah.art/, and FM Gallery’s global community can be found on major social networks, including Clubhouse, Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, Discord, WeChat and Medium.
