Genesis
Genesis crypto works we believe have a far bigger value in the long term. You are effectively acquiring the first Da Vinci but burned onto the Immutable Blockchain for all to see. Below are just a few Genesis pieces owned in the #TheSatoshiCollection
001. Sparkle by Lynn De La Rosa (March 2021)
Lynn De La Rosa, an admired Dutch street artist, moved into Crypto art in February 2021, as lockdowns across the world took art from the streets to the burgeoning new landscape of NFT Art. Sparkle, the very first work she made in crypto, is a gem, and was purchased by the gallery with breathtaking speed to acquire our first significant “genesis” work. It is vibrant, chaotic and has a feeling that is so fresh, that it hold’s a particular place in our hearts here. To us it’s like owning the first copy of Rapper’s Delight as street artists properly joined the NFT community and helped popularise the form.
Godmask 1 by Nexus (2021)
Nexus Digital’s Godmask collection is one our team really love. This colourful abstract art feels like it has been discovered in a psychedelic tomb, paying tribute to burials of drag artists. We love our first edition Godmask but it is one piece on sale at our launch.
Foreign Palisade by The Glitched Arts (2021)
The image is hypnotic in nature, penetrating and generous. As you are pulled into the work, a modernistic leaf leaves you in a wonderful daydream, escaping the glitched nightmare around the central flower. Our team loved the dynamic swirls of this piece to capture how NFTs were fundamentally changing into a higher art form in early 2021. Since making this genesis piece, The Glitched Arts, has moved in a more abstract style to reflect the Foundation app, making this piece in its Jackson Pollock-esque style, even rarer.
Adventurous City by ArtCHILLtech (2021)
The mysterious ArtCHILLtech has a background as a top Architect “if you can build it or make it, I can do that” he explained to our curator. “Adventurous City is a (huge) freehand drawing: A collection of 30 unique (and 1 of 1) connected sheets, a seamless blend inspired by cities from all around the world.”
We had to get one of his fineliners in our collection and gave him his first ever bid and sale to get this Genesis work of Madrid in our collection.
Cell of dreams no.24 by Lve Wang
Saatchi Artist Lve Wang transferred his work directly to The Satoshi Collection, cheekily getting on our super curators radar overnight. As a top artist his work is shown all over the world. The beauty in building this collection is the surprises of unique works that come to the gallery directly. Cell of Dreams may look simple but is tied to a far larger body of street art by Wang. The complete Cell of Dreams artwork sells for $17,000.
Crossroads by The Collector (2021)
Our galleries own genesis piece was created by our founder as the official announcement on him changing job was revealed by top industry title PRovoke (formerly known as The Holmes Report). Peter wanted to capture the moment that NFTs were taking off at the exact same time he was leaving to set-up this gallery. Those in the PR community who spotted this screengrab would have a good idea that blockchain was part of the future for Bowles.
