Preface:

Cryptographic art has taken off this year as creators learn about blockchain and experience unprecedented ease of making money directly from their work. The point is that the ability to collect fees from the secondary market has been unleashed in a way that traditional art cannot. The curators have done much, and the trading markets still look like isolated islands, but that is changing. We have a clear value proposition for artists, so we believe that we will attract more talent over time.

Interestingly, some platforms with the 'Drop' model (such as the Nifty Gateway) are actively seeking prolific traditional artists for exclusive distribution. It goes without saying that all art is subjective. But in this report we will compromise by choosing artists to show the amazing moments in the field. Although there was some artistic activity on the public chain, such as EOS and Hive, we chose to omit it from the report because most of it was active on Ethereum.

"Personally, I think the market value of digital art will grow to be bigger than physical art. Today, that sounds ridiculous."

- Anthony Pompliano Morgan Creek Digital Co-founder and partner

"Cryptographic art has grown incredibly fast, far beyond anyone's perception."

- Duncan Cockfoster Co-founder of the Nifty Gateway

Market Overview:

Platforms are mainly divided according to their degree of specialization and target market. On the left is a comprehensive trading platform for asset services across all NFT submarkets: games, artists, insurance, ENS domain names, and so on. On the right is a market dedicated to the needs of art/creators.

The operators of these markets are betting that, in the long run, artists don't want to be managed by gamers, and gamers don't want to be managed by artists, so this divergence between the two can lead to a very different view of how ecosystems should evolve. Encryption offers powerful microeconomic tools for niche communities, and we see no reason for creators to reject them. Using these tools is a good way to align the interests of stakeholders without depriving them of a voice in the community.

With the surge of interest in NFT art and the emergence of liquid mining within THE NFT contracts, we expect the popularity of these platforms to really heat up in the coming months as the battle for market share heats up. DeFi has accelerated the development of NFT, and many trading markets have initiated activities such as Rarible liquidity mining and governance tokens. When these platform token schemes become public, we will compare and examine how they seek to differentiate in future reports.

Josie Bellini

It's hard to talk about encryption art, let alone Josie Bellini. She goes deeper, perhaps more than anyone, into the core spirit of the decentralized movement. Her tenacious dystopian artistic style is well known to many, often seen in references to the encryption industry. Josie, who first published on OpenSea over a year ago, is already familiar with the cryptographic art market. She also runs a live event called "Behind the Art" to light up artists in the encrypted Art community.

"Encryption art changed the paradigm of art. The artist's success can no longer rely on galleries, curators and other traditional infrastructure. Artists no longer hope to represent their gallery, because can artists and collectors from all over the world really linked together. No longer have to pay high commission gallery (usually 50%). The artist can complete control of your own destiny. In short, encryption art gives me freedom. I can escape from nine to five job, concentrate on my writing, and created his own brand. I was lucky, my work caused the resonance of the community, It's the community that gives me that freedom. Every day I'm surrounded by an incredible group of cryptocurrency believers who share the same values: openness, independence, hard work and experimentation."

Pak

Although Pak is an undisputed pioneer in the digital art world, I know little about him. The web archive, which took more than an hour to track back to 2002, had little effect. He is one of the pre-eminent digital artists, selling $400,000 worth of work this year alone. Pak created Archillect: an autonomous "visual engine" that collects images from the Internet, which Pak called "synthetic intelligence" in 2016.

But I recently found an interview:

"Pak its true identity has been strict conservative - Pak is an individual or team of engineers to construct the AI, unknown. Although everyone is concerned about its true identity, but who is Pak, whether network person created an appreciation of art, these are not important. Just like in the hearing is anonymous created in the system of digital gold jing doesn't matter, a truth. Like this cookie in encryption currency, if Pak become legend digital art field, I'm not surprised."

Matt Kane

Matt Kane, a Chicago-based artist, has been showing art since his early 20s. Later, during a decade away from the art world, he developed in the Cascadia area. There, he taught himself to code, accumulated experience, and settled on a career that would someday center on creation, his current career. Kane started as an oil painter and became an algorithm artist.

"I design custom software that USES artificial input to leverage algorithms. I build the pieces layer by layer and make design choices using the interactive algorithms I've written. Doing physical presentations the traditional way is too complex and time-consuming, but I'm interested in exploring history and aesthetics in code, much like those oil painters use paint."

Encryption art "for me, let me have a bigger goal. I want to own meager power, and this visionary community together, to shape a I want to achieve in the future. For artists in intelligent contract provides secondary sales royalties forward-looking ideas, is just the tip of the iceberg for innovation. It is creating a new market, the artists and collectors benefit maximization. Before contact encryption art, I have been to belong to my unique digital art form, but have not found can get it to high-speed road. Encryption art appear let me found a" highway "."

Francesco Mai

Francesco Mai is a 3D digital artist and professor of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in 3D Modeling and Rendering.

He has been involved in the world of 3D digital art since 2005 and has held numerous international exhibitions in the United States, Germany, Australia and Poland, including stops in Colombia, Canada and his home country of Italy. He studied biology in college, and these life experiences seem to permeate much of his work.

Francesco Mai's digital art explores the exotic development of organic and inorganic life through the paradox of zoology. Metallic minerals often crystallize in irregular structures, with intriguing implications for anthropocentrism.

He joined the cryptographic art scene just over four months ago and is already gaining a foothold. More recently, he has become a hit artist at SuperRare.

Frenetik Void

"As digital technology has changed the definition of what it means to be human, the relationship between physical existence, virtual identity and digital physicality has become more diffuse."

Frenetik Void's work unfolds in the context of science fiction, a post-human universe inhabited by mutant creatures, chaotic and dying to the limit. Suspended matter in liquid nature makes for a surreal scene. Things that are still may be too boring, but the existence of a humanoid creature, as a symbolic symbol, represents a variety of behaviors.

Frenetik Void's works have been exhibited in many international exhibitions, including The Wrong Digital Art Biennale and Iconic Biennale.

Trevor Jones

Trevor has created some records in the NFT art field. His work has been shown in virtual or real galleries, and when universities use AR to display their work in an integrated way, it is sure to inspire more innovation.

From his website:

"Will be on display in Edinburgh university robotics institute in November, AI and chain block construction (WAYRA UK) inspiration comes from Picasso's masterpiece, retranslation, especially his cubist period. Picasso was' s bitcoins Bull will be the most heavyweight works exhibition. & have spent can use AR application CreativMuse Artivive scanning and painting, to activate the function of digital and animation."

His deep depictions of cryptocurrencies and artistic ICONS capture the essence in a modern, technical way. We love his Satoshi Nakamoto series and his homage to Picasso. In the auction of a one-of-a-kind Picasso "Bull," the work attracted the likes of Whaleshark, NBSP; The bid by some of the biggest collectors, including Jason A and Morgan Creek Digital's Williams, set A then-NFT auction record of $55,555.

FEWOCiOUS

FEWOCiOUS, a 17-year-old artist from Las Vegas, has described herself as "surrealist pop, an expression of self-perception." She also works on physical paintings, such as "I Flew Too Close to the Sun," which was recently sold to A DCL Blogger.

"Art of encryption makes digital artist really focus on their creation. The interests of rich, high commissions and don't have to worry about delivery. We want to be our own! In addition, I learned a lot from the friend around, see what they are doing, always brought me some inspiration and motivation. Encryption art filled with generous people, has been teaching me a lot of new knowledge about digital technology. Feel great! I never think of themselves as" representatives "in the field of any, but I think I'm one of them, looking forward to the future, I hope that as far as possible to learn more, In order to continuously improve and create better works. However, because I undertake some commercial creations, I neglect to get to know myself, because my creations are all manifestations of self-perception, I don't want to escape from my own feelings, and I like the incisive creation process."

Totemical

His artistic style is diverse, exploring many themes and backgrounds. From psychedelic cyberpunk, magical human form to futuristic natural and urban landscape, almost the feeling of sun punk. His conception and use of colors in alien architecture gave his art a unique flair. He is active on social media and has made a good connection between traditional art and encrypted art, and was an early supporter of the migration from traditional art.

Yura Miron

He is best known for his AI-generated image creation. The combination of morphological evolution and multiple colors gives life to the works. The fusion of man and machine to pursue the beauty of cosmic art. His ongoing Project, Beautiful Worlds, will produce one image a day for a year. Let the algorithm first produce a basic image, supplemented by manual processing to complete the work.

Daniella Attfield

21-year-old Cryptographic artist from South Africa. Daniella pays tribute to the icon with a neon pen. The black background is like chalk on a blackboard. Her acting style is very good, very restrained. Her translations of David Bowie and Van Gogh amazed us.

Silvio Vieira

Portuguese artist, a surreal psychedelic aesthetic focused on humans or animals and presented in a supernatural state. The latitude of the intersection of body, number or consciousness conceived to create. He will release 1 of 1 Edition, or a single edition, on SuperRare. The cryptographic art market is growing, and we hope he can do well in the secondary market.
