I'm going BIZARRE to announce the sale of my original acrylic painting, "The Audience," which has found a new home in a private collection in Illinois, USA! To celebrate, I'm also releasing a limited-edition NFT, a digital derivative and mintable copy of the piece, allowing digital collectors to own a piece of this artwork onchain.
"The Audience" (16" x 20", 2021) is a bold and expressive exploration of BIZARRE portraiture. Set against a vivid orange backdrop, the canvas features loosely rendered faces, each unique in shape, color, and expression. Thick black outlines define the forms, while red, blue, and yellow accents add energy and contrast.
These minimal yet emotive faces evoke a powerful range of feelings: curiosity, amusement, confusion, and indifference. The recurring theme of the stylized, often asymmetrical eye symbolizes diverse perspectives and interpretations. Some figures appear to overlap or merge, subtly hinting at a collective consciousness or shared symbolic space. The disjointed features—floating lips, mismatched eyes, and unconventional hues—contribute to a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. The crowd feels both unified and fragmented. "The Audience" invites us to see the crowd not just as passive observers, but as active participants in the act of looking and being seen. It reflects on how we observe and are observed.
This NFT is more than just a digital copy; it's a new way to experience and collect "The Audience." The original painting sold for approximately $400 USD, and now this NFT presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of that artistic vision on the blockchain.
Here's what makes this NFT even more exciting:
This NFT provides a 5X BOOST in the BizarreBeasts ($BB) Empire during May and June, enhancing your rewards and leaderboard position (powered by /glanker).
