Artist Patrick Hughes launches NFT collection with MakersPlace
Renowned British painter Patrick Hughes will launch his NFT collection on the MakersPlace platform. He innovated the “reverspective technique” and thus his first NFT collection on Ethereum is called ‘Reverspective’. The collection goes live on Tuesday 26 July at 6:30 p.m. EST.
The ‘Reverspective’ collection
The ‘Reverspective’ collection launches at MakersPlace early next week. The collection consists of two limited editions of 10 entitled ‘Banksy of England’ and ‘Pygmalion’.
MakersPlace helped accelerate digital art and NFTs onto the global stage, with the historic sale of Beeple’s Everydays: The First 5000 Days for $69.3 million in partnership with Christie’s auction house in March 2021. It was the first NFT marketplace to accepted both cryptocurrency and fiat payments.
‘Banksy of England’ is a set of images playfully embracing the renowned English graffiti artist Banksy. In addition to this, the iconic financial institution that encapsulates the UK economy. The rebel throwing a bouquet of flowers, Thermophrace’s winged victory as a surveillance video camera, indeed all of Banksy’s images are there to make us think, and think again, about our society and its norms.
‘Pygmalion’ conveys yellow doors leading to a calm seascape with a blue sky. In Patrick Hughes’ art, doors are often used because they resemble reversing constructional movements as they open and close or reveal or conceal. These doors show us alternatively the closed doors or the wonderful view beyond, depending on our movement and point of view.
In addition, the collection includes an open edition NFT entitled ‘Exhibitionism’. It contains several artworks by legendary artists who inspire Patrick Hughes. With sculptures by Eduardo Paolozzi, Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol. In addition to paintings by Wayne Thiebaud, Roy Lichtenstein, Philip Guston and Victor Vasarely, Hughes captures the essence of classical art and established artists entering a new world of digital art.
