Let’s be very clear: Skeenee is punk. He embodies everything you know or don’t know about Crypto Art. Skeenee doesn’t have limits, and neither does his art. Pure experimentation and constant curiosity characterize his body of work. Skulls, birds, studies of human figures, animals: all are coming to life through the simple and confident trait of Skeenee’s drawings. But Skeenee is also a master in giving the illusion of life. The artist animates his drawings, his nudes are pixelated. He mixes, fuses, and impregnates the quintessential traditional look with the most advanced technologies. A part of his works looks like studies, preliminary sketches of artworks. And yet, the feeling is not that of unfinished or drafts; instead, of completeness and wholeness. So what are we looking at? The answer is something new. Something that pushes the boundaries, where art doesn’t have to be on one side and technology on the other anymore. But especially where any means, ideas, tools, or attitude that can contribute to allowing art - and therefore humanity - to evolve is spontaneously and playfully used. Skeenee doesn’t differentiate techniques, styles, or canons; he doesn’t put himself and his art in boxes. The only label he knows is: to expand beyond the limits. His approach to art also reflects his involvement and role within the crypto art community, always fresh and constructive. Always trying to look through a new lens at society, social games, humanity, life. I don’t know who coined the term “self-governance,” but in my mind, if there is someone among us who is the incarnation of it, that is Skeenee. Skeenee, beyond the “self-sovereign.” Say hello to the “self-king.” Written by Eleonora Brizi
For over a decade, German artist Patric Ortmann (AKA MotionSickness) has been a sought-after Motion Design Artist, having worked for brands like Audi, Mercedes, VW, and Nike. He has made a name for himself, producing large-scale audiovisual media installations, concert visuals, and projection mapping for brands and well-known artists like The Weeknd. Apart from his client work, Ortmann has developed a unique aesthetic, looping 3D animations and audio. A lifelong learner, Ortmann’s practice is one of constant evolution as his fascination with new technology pushes him into possibilities, including his most notable artworks that feature Moebius-strip-like knots and loops that defy physical laws, work that is both tangibly figurative and textbook abstraction. The resulting aesthetic might be termed Sci-Fi Mysticism. Outside of visual fascination, Ortmann approaches the work of this figurative-abstraction with a scholarly rigor, referencing the symbolism of religious and esoteric practices like Hinduism, Buddhism, and mysticism to imbue his work with a deeper set of possible meanings.

Digital Artist and Architect.
