Living in the digital age has broadened horizons for content creation as artists gain vast recognition through the development of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). While NFTs are traditionally fads of the internet, art is a community of interaction that values personal experience. Digital creator, NessGraphics, understood this missing link in the NFT community and conjured up an innovative experience allowing for NFTs to be more accessible in public spaces.
New Horizons is the title of this contemporary NFT exhibition on display at Pellas Gallery in Boston, a city known for its burgeoning tech industry. The exhibition is produced by NFT collector David Paredes who in collaboration with Pellas Gallery owners, Alfredo Pellas and Isabel Arguello, developed this exhibit with the intent to showcase intricate works of established digital artists.
“The Cycle” by Annibale Siconolfli
New Horizons paves the way for digital content creators and is surely the origin of a brand new type of exhibition. As art evolves in its mediums, so must the traditional artscene. The evolution of gallery spaces is pivotal for the NFT community and will enable artists, collectors, and dealers to venture into an uncharted yet promising territory.
NessGraphics is advancing the dialogue surrounding digitized art. In promoting works of digital artists via an in-person exhibition, the works of these renowned artists are being platformed to surpass the confines of a computer screen.
