Reinterpretations 2021 by Grif
The award-winning multidisciplinary visual artist and director Shane Griffin, aka Grif. shares his lates NFT project dropped on Shoyu Platform
Classical sculptures becomes reinterpreted as a four dimensional form. The audience is presented with a shifting perspective of the sculpture, mirroring the conflicting perspectives of our own history and religions, both of which are become distorted through time. It draws a parallel between our history and current political landscapes, where it has become harder than ever to decipher truth from bias, with two realities presented at any given time.
The works each progressively fracture into fragments of the initial mold, creating a complex and impossible interpenetrating form, they shift back and forth before regressively returning to the start, the loop continues endlessly. The sculptures are to be enjoying in the static, moving, and 3D dimensional form, owners of the NFT's will receive an animated sculpture for their Metaverse galleries.
Emma Steinkraus art
Emma Steinkraus is an artist, editor of Company Editions, and Assistant Professor of Fine Art at Hampden-Sydney College. Her paintings and installations use strategies of juxtaposition and layering to explore ecology, gender, and the history of science. Her current project, Impossible Garden, spotlights the contributions of pre-20th century women to scientific art through an immersive wallpaper collaged from reproductions of their work.
Daniel Martin art
Daniel lives and works in Leiden, The Netherlands. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. In his current work he searches for the transmutational properties of matter. The portraits and sculptures do not have a definite form and posses different realities on how they can be perceived. In order to come to new forms Daniel cuts up paintings, finds things on the street and uses creations made by others. The loose elements from these endeavours are used as disjointed brushstrokes that are reassembled in coherent shapes again, creating an object which holds no truth in shape.
Connections by Daria Khasaia and Galina Shevchenko
From the past to the future - the project "Connections" by Daria Khasaia and Galina Shevchenko
The idea of the artists is to show the connection between a stable classical image in art and instant modern variability. It is she who is difficult to perceive by the viewer. She, most often, attracts with her duality, which the very union of two contemporary artists possesses.
Galina Shevchenko is an artist from Finland. For a long time, she worked in the classical style of painting. Her delicate watercolours, full of romantic mystery, promise both tranquillity and adventure: “The sun has not yet risen above the haze of clouds, and the mountains in the distance seem blurred in the predawn haze. The yachts are preparing to leave the bay for the open sea, but so far everything is motionless and breathes peace and quiet.” And now Galina herself embarked on the study of new facets of contemporary art.
Daria Khasaia lives and works in Istanbul. She chose the fragility of human emotions as the main direction of creativity: shame, anger, and pain along with unconditional love, tenderness and acceptance. She expresses her vision of the complex human nature with the help of collage, photo and video art, which can be accompanied by a live musical performance.
The creative union of such dissimilar artists was born in 2019 when they both received the Peggy prize. This union can be called a harmonious symbiosis of opposites, which breathed life into the "Connections" project. Connections between mature and young, unshakable and changeable, past and yet to come. As well as the connections between people, nations, and countries, which the girls demonstrate by personal example.
The artists presented five works in mixed media, where they combined classical and modern techniques. The message of most of the works is clear on an intuitive level. This is due to the desire of girls to make the contact of viewers with art more accessible.
The world is rushing at a crazy pace, changes sweep everything around, giving birth to new and new trends, names, and meanings ... It is impossible to remain a retrograde, nervously sitting on a stool of the past. And at the same time, it is so important to have unshakable foundations and roots that will help you not get lost in the whirlwind of a crazy future. Where is this edge? Transition? Merging two elements?
Each of the artists answers this question in her own way, but such dissimilar voices of the girls surprisingly merge into unison.
Galina brings out the haze of a blurred watercolour of hazy shades, deftly writing out the smallest details. Unites Daria's collages into a surreal world full of myths and deities, as if in an unusual dream. Unites the works of the artist’s mood, wary and curious in relation to the subtle moment of transition.
Most of the works have an unusual structure - this is an attempt to come up with the very future art that the project is looking for. Artists simply allowed themselves to be in a creative search, without depriving themselves of inner freedom. After all, the theme of the connection between the past and the future, life and death is presented to each of us in different ways.

Paper-cut corals by Rogan Brown
“Artist Rogan Brown introduces his intricate cut-out paper ‘coral garden’, following his previous series that emphasised the mesmerising diversity of the coral realm. In his previous sculptures, the artist sought to capture the durable yet fragile silhouette of the corals, which is a symbol of the overwhelming impacts of global warming and man-made destruction.” via designboom
‘Coral Garden’ is part of an ongoing series displayed at Galerie Bettina in Paris, as a contemplative journey to the heart of nature. “The reefs are a potent symbol of the planet itself: teeming with life and colour and biodiversity and yet threatened with extinction because of our inability to control our own appetites and to accept the consequences of our own actions.”

Art of Tiffany Cole
Tiffany Cole was born and raised in San Francisco California and is now based in London England. She is a self-taught artist and a muse to some of the world's leading artists. While her work revolves around the human form Tiffany also adds raw, colourful abstraction to her figure work. After the careful and technical creation of the figure she dives into pure emotion with instinctual, bold mark making.
“I am deeply interested and consumed with the beauty and sensuality of the figure. I feel like I get to tell stories with my hands and create the worlds that I felt I had to keep trapped in my mind for so many years. Through my art I am free to express my sensuality, and I’m finding with my work I’m able to give a voice to the inner thoughts of many women I’ve come to meet, who have become muses to me. My work represents the two dominant and sometimes harmful sides of my personality, obsession with perfection with bouts of exuberant spontaneity”
A New Nature
by Mark Dorf
A New Nature by Mark Dorf
Generative artist Mark Dorf shares NFT excerpts from an upcoming video installation titled A New Nature at the Museum für Gestaltung that will run as a part of Digital Arts Zurich later this month
"A New Nature" contemplates the future of what is commonly referred to in Western culture as Nature through scenes that are both cautionary and celebratory. The works in A New Nature do not depict a future that is a return to the pastoral and bucolic landscape, but neither is it a future of doom and gloom. Instead, these works reveal environments that are augmented with technology, for better or worse, and that are full of mystery suggesting and normalizing images of a strange hybrid, and at times abject, planetary system of technology-organisms.
These new works are derived from a longer form video installation A New Nature are debuting at the end of the month at @museumgestaltung with @daz_digitalartzurich
01 A New Nature
⚭ Nature is just a word that is assigned to a place over there. Theres nothing over there that is not over here
✧ Tell me what you see. It slips just out of reach with the very act of grasping it.
☉ Breathe life into this world. There is nothing new here, we have all been here forever.
Digital Art from Jana Stýblová
Analogue, abstract and grotesque artist Jana Stýblová shares her vision
“Each piece I create embodies the goal of merging the analogue/physical and digital. I begin a new piece by first making a painting on canvas with acrylic paint, spray paint and occasionally other chemicals. While the paint is still wet and malleable, I photograph the canvas both regularly and at a macro scale, revealing some of the more alien details the paint may create by interacting with itself. Once I have a set of sometimes hundreds of photos, I select the ones that strike me as most otherworldly or ones that would work well as a landscape foundation.”
”I bring these photographs into Photoshop and begin building, layering, cutting and seaming—slowly playing with density to reveal something that doesn't look paint-like at all. Often I will add gradients at this stage before running this preliminary collage through a pixel sorting bit of code in Processing. Pixel sorting is a technique invented by Kim Asendorf in 2010—I like to work with analogue methods, but have a deep respect and awe of code, combining the two in the NFT / Digital Art space is what, to me, solidifies the art as a digital work, rather than physical. “
”This process repeats and can go on for many hours until I feel a sense of completion, or indeed, perhaps a bit of transportation. You can read a bit more here: https://janastyblova.com/a-nebula “

Wittgenstein’s cabin by Dionisio González
“In his latest series, titled Wittgenstein’s cabin, visual artist Dionisio González (more here) envisions a group of amphibious dwellings set on the Norwegian fjords. the project draws from Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s secluded hut, planned and built in 1914 on the steep shore of lake Eidsvatnet in Skjolden, beside the Sognefjord. Designed as prototypes for thought, the amphibious dwellings act as reflections of the world while in turn, they are reflected on the mirror of the waters.” , read more on designboom
