Psyborg Gallery presents "Pioneerz", celebrating the icons of urban art who have transitioned into the NFT & digital space. Using a number of cutting edge display technologies we are able to show digital artworks in new and exciting ways.
From Goldie on LED video cubes to DINES on a holographic fan, futuristic bodies of work can now align with new technologies they can be viewed with. This also extends to the new and exciting ways we view art online via the Metaverse.
An American graffiti artist, Futura started painting illegally in the early seventies (working with other artists such as ALI) on New York's subway. Futura decided to abandon Graffiti and enrolled in the US Navy for four years. He received a letter from Ali in 1979, asking him to return to New York. Both created the crew "Soul Artists of Zoo York". Futura 2000 showed with Patti Astor at the Fun Gallery, along with Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Richard Hambleton and Kenny Scharf in the early 80s. Also in 198, Futura began painting on-stage backdrops for The Clash while they performed.
