Over the past two weeks my work appeared at MUTEK Montréal, at RGBMTL, and at Canal Street Show in New York. On September 9 it will enter public view at the Francisco Carolinum Linz museum in Austria.
MUTEK ran from August 25 to August 30. RGBMTL ran on August 28 and 29 at 1481 rue Ottawa. RGBMTL is organized as a collective of artist-curators, each responsible for a small team. This was my first year in that role. I exhibited works from the Voluptechne series at RGBMTL, presented two new Alice-in-Wonderland works at MUTEK, and curated nine artists in addition to my own contribution: @animoscillator, @anzomez, @guruguruhyena, @Iteration__, @lesCogumelos, @LuisBetx9, @ojovivoMotion, @ResetNft, and @WAAMBAT.
I was unable to travel to Montreal (or NYC). In lieu of attendance I built a public satellite of the exhibition in Decentraland, modeled in Blender, with every participating artist from the festival installed and linked outward. That gallery remains open at rgbmtl.dcl.eth.
On September 3, Wen Moon? was exhibited at Canal Street Show Vol. 6 at Lume Studios in New York, in a room curated by @Shills_81.
Thank you so much for the honor and glory @Shills_81 <3 I hope everyone is having a great time in NYC with all our arts <3
On September 9, Wen Moon #850 opens at Francisco Carolinum Linz as part of Collection Francisco Carolinum: 3 Blockchains, one Collection, on view through February 7, 2027. Background on that acquisition is here.
While I'm grateful for all the opportunities to exhibit, without collectors support none of this is possible. Here are some select works waiting for their forever homes.
I LOVE making portraits, and am ready to take on some commissions.
The work follows the same creation process as my Royal Self Portrait Series: a source photograph, my painting, and a finished portrait.
To commission one, write with a reference image and a note on how you want to be seen. I will reply with terms, and a quote before any work begins.
