Thread
As everyone knows, @CozomoMedici has been curating a list of selected pieces from 31 exceptional artists in the space to exhibit in Times Square, NY. 👀

For all of you that can't assist to this major NY NFT event, here there is a summary of all of them 👇
1/ Rata🐀
Rata's art has transcended its creator —what it means he is doing something right—. Everybody knows this awesome banner, but, did you know who was behind it? You guess it! @rata_yonqui
Rata's art is all over the place and has helped @CozomoMedici's image what it is today, bringing the family together with this banner. @rata_yonqui is a must when following up what is going on in the NFT space.
2/ What is real?
@whatisrealart is an artist who follows the glitch art path explored by @XCOPYART and has incorporated his own element and visions, being "the skulls" a permanent narrative, but in a less cryptopunk and more plastic and textured version.

3/ Deekay
@deekaymotion is an illustrator with a very appealing and natural style. He has worked also in gifs and done some friendly pieces of @XCOPYART or @CozomoMedici walking.

Worth mention this 1 M$ buy

3/Deekay
Lately, @deekaymotion has become the collector of the first @JimCarrey NFT piece ever in the space!

4/ Apocalypse art
Another artist who creates around skulls, but has nothing to do with glitch art. @apocalypticform artwork orbits around gods, entities, death and beyond. This one bought by Cozomo is one of my favorites
/4 Apocalypse art
While not all his pieces are centered in skulls, the most interesting ones —in my opinion— are. He has an "insight series" exploring colors and palettes in OS opensea.io/collection/apocalypse-art
5/ XCOPY
Well, what can I say about @XCOPYART that hasn't been said already but, when "talentless reply guy" artwork?? "right click save as" guy was such a hit that I always thought this was the next one.
6/ VVD
The figure of @Vince_Van_Dough started as a collector, but, thru the years, he has made a crusade to defend the decentralization of NFTs.

VVD has done so many things that it is impossible to cover them all. His last activist project is "moonbirds"

6/VVD
@Vince_Van_Dough most loved project is prolly @pepe__wtf, focused on rare pepes NFTs and its variations. We owe to him @0xDecaArt bringing them in.

Another projects he is part of r the mysterious @TungstenDAO and the NFT VC @StarryNight_Cap with millions worth of art
7/ Visithra
The main collection of @vissyarts is a research of tribal-like faces and its expressions. I can't help but think of it as the skull narrative so highlighted in the crypto space.

8/ Tyler Hobbs
As you already know, @tylerxhobbs is a legend of the generative art —art generated by code—. Have you hear about Fidenzas? Well, he is the man behind it.

For Fidenza's 1 year birthday, all 1000 pieces here together
9/ Snowfro
Another giant, @ArtOnBlockchain, the creator of an OG NFT project that started it all, @artblocks_io with the mythical rainbow one.

What have he been up to lately? he tells you about it here:

10/ Botto
This is a project, rather than a single artist, @BottoDAO is up to a million things and the best way to go about it is joining their discord.

They do dreamy AI generated art with weekly auctions in superrare: superrare.com/bottoproject
11/ Scamart
Also an artist of the "glitch generation" but with some jean michel basquiat vibes around it. @Scamart_0v0 pieces are focused on crypto topics as "scams, cash grabs, FOMO" and such. He has a "cash grab" edition as @osf_nft and they both share the narrative.
12/ Cem Hasimi
Cem is a art director with some dilated experience. Cem has a very refreshing perspective on the space, since its art is not alike any other.

This piece by @cemhah is a gif work called "The necromancer". To see the gif beauty, go here: @cemhasimi/rtls/4' target='_blank'>foundation.app/@cemhasimi/rtls/4
13/ Justin Aversano
@justinaversano is mostly a photographer but not only, founder of @QuantumNFT, a project focused on curating digital culture.
14/ Coldie
@Coldie is an OG in the space and a collage artist. He is in so many projects that couldn't fit it all in here. His last project, and the one he will be showing in NY is @MONOGRAMA_NFT, focused on fighting for social causes and it donates 30% of the profits.
15/ Des Lucrece
@DesLucrece is another artist from the glitch generation but with a very friendly approach, instead of skulls, he is focused on fantasy monsters and creatures with a very personalistic style. I do really like this illustration GIF style.
16/ Adam Swaab
3D figures and code, digital video and modelling, that is what the art of @adamswaab is about. Adam's art is complex and showcased in perfect loops.

Visit here his superare: superrare.com/adamswaab
17/ Dom Qwek
@DomQwek art resembles to digital sculpture, it is mysterious and sometimes, it has something of unsettling. It is very interesting to read and reflect on the piece's descriptions by the artist.
18/ Haru Komoda
@komodaharu is mainly interested in abstract work and exploring color. He has a wonderful @0xDecaArt gallery set up with haikus accompanying his pieces.
19/ Heart you
The style of @XXHeartYou is based on heart illustrations and exploring different approaches. His genesis collection is the perfect definition.
opensea.io/collection/emotes-by-heart-you
20/ Ryan Talbot
@ryan_talbot_ is a very talented 3d artist. He has multiple short videos like animations, what it makes total sense, since he is involved in the animation movie industry. superrare.com/ryantalbot
21/ Sam Spratt
Sam is one of those artists whose pieces you just can`t stop watching. He makes authentic diorama paintings where an story is being narrated and it makes you travel to another dimension. @SamSpratt best work "Luci" is out of this world
22/ Jenni Pasanen
@PasanenJenni is an AI generated NFT artist who, honestly, reminds me a lot of @ClaireSilver12. Claire's work is prolly more melancholic while Jenni's is more dreamy and fantastic. I can't stop watching this piece:
23/ Claire Silver
Obviously, the next one had to be my beloved @ClaireSilver12. Claire is one of the AI generated art pioneers and most visible face in CT. She is also one of the most famous punks and the very first art review thread I did! Check it here

24/ Luis Ponce
These are some trippy art pieces! @luispon_c gif work is a total trip and I would love to post some here but I dont know how to tweet gifs, kek. But the colors he uses are espectacular. A must!
25/ Michele Petrelli
I will be doing an extensive review about @michelepetrelli, just a tweet doesn't make him any justice.


26/ My rare pepe
Well, I don't think this one need introduction, @myrarepepe is an OG in the space and is all about rare pepes collection. Working currently in a rare pepes wallet.

Pepes exist on BTC chain so it is very niche.
27/ Mindzeye
@mindzeye is an NFT photographer. I am not usually that interested in photography, but his photos will just mindblow you. His pics are out of this world. I can't stop watching them.

This has an special place in my heart cause it reminds me when I visited firenze.
28/ Lana Denina
@lanadenina's art is about delicacy and subtleness. She has various editions, between them, a pfp style as @worldofwomennft, but without doubt, this is his more interesting work.
29/ Monica Rizzoli
@MonicaRizzolli's art is about exploring natural motives, focused on floral patterns in a rather modern impressionist form.

I am very interested in this artist and I will also do a future more in depth review.
30/ Heidi Klum
@heidiklum will be also a part of the NFT Times Square gallery exhibit although I couldn't find anything form her. I guess she was introduced to @cryptopunksnfts by @CozomoMedici
31/ Yam Karkai
@YKarkai is another of those artists who needs no presentation in the space. Her NFT project @worldofwomennft was a total hit and reached a very high floor.

More than a pfp NFT project, I like to think about her as the very much needed spotlight into women NFTs
31/ Yam Karkai
Why? well, throughout history, women artists has been silenced and it seems like "there are any" but that is a complete lie and history is full with hundreds of very good female painters and artists.

I will be doing a thread about them, soon, very soon!
If you have come this far, thank you for your interest! I will appreciate a RT to spread awareness and reach and bring art to as many people as possible!

Thx @CozomoMedici for hosting and making all this possible!
