Arthemort Discovery of the Month #2 🤯

by our lead curator @arthemort

Stefano Colferai is a self-taught sculptor with a background in illustration, graphic design and photography.

In 2014, attracted by 3D, sculpture and DIY, he started to create with plasticine a strong identity inspired by pop culture and contemporary icons. Colferai gives his own vision of the world through still frames and stop motion using a clever synthesis of his various influences.

Artwork: Happy-Sad, 2021. 1/52, minted on Objkt.

Stop motion as a technique has existed for over a century and has a rich history of technical breakthrough. The genre as a film category has been popularised through various films such as Chicken Run or Wallace & Gromit produced by the animation studio, Aardman . This technic has slowly become less profitable due to the rise of digital CGI, however it retains a unique aesthetic that many contemporary cinematographers, such as Tim Burton, go back to.

Artwork: Scrolling, 2021. 1/25, minted on Objkt.

Brands also understand the nostalgic feeling provided by practical visual effects and stop-motion animation, during his career Stefano has had the chance to collaborate with Apple, Nike, Converse, Adidas, Footlocker, Uniqlo, WeTransfer, Sky, NBA and Disney.

Believing in web 3.0 and digital renaissance, he minted his first NFT on SuperRare in 2021 and, on the same year, took part in the 1st Sotheby's Metaverse auction with the work Behind the Musk.

Discovery of the Month #1 🤯

by our lead curator @arthemort

We are very excited to introduce the “Discovery of the Month”, the monthly selection of a revolutionizing emerging artist that collectors should have on their radar. Or even better, in their collections.

Our very first Discovery is Matheus “Ciberdelia” Xavier, a 28 years old artist from Recife, Brasil.

Artwork: Dream Alive, 2023. Limited edition of 5, minted on OpenSea.

Ciberdelia, a project by the Brazilian visual artist Matheus Xavier, was born from the idea of visual experimentation for the viewer through different ways of making art and immersion in the immaterial world through analog collages, digital collages, illustrations and animations.

Artwork: Balance, 2023. Limited edition of 5, minted on Manifold.

The creations are records of a dream diary, each fragment corresponding to an annotation and a different universe that connects everything, an atmosphere to transport the world of ideas in projected visualizations.

Artwork: Sleep Index, 2023. Unique piece, minted on Foundation.

“Ciberdelia’s work is soothing, contemplative and reflects this generation’s new approach to archive material, where videos and pictures are altered to fit a personal point of view.

His shorts are incarnated by a character and plunged into an introspective journey to the core of one artist’s universe —universalism in intimacy.

Ciberdelia manages to produce a poetic body of work that will talk to everyone while he’s the only one having the key to the intrinsic meaning of it.” - Arthemort

Artwork: Deep Imagination, 2023. Limited edition of 5, minted on OpenSea.
