#Gucci #NFTartist #Web3
In an exclusive interview with #Blockster, emerging #digitalfashion artist SamJ tells-all about their introduction into the Web3 space, how they were able to attract the attention of high fashion brand #Gucci, and why they believe digital fashion has the capabilities to shape the future of expression and communication between human beings.
The #nonbinary American artist first came across the Web3 realm when their father’s friend taught them how to invest in Bitcoin a number of years ago. After selling their #crypto back in December 2019 to help fund their art studio, SamJ then stumbled across the likes of #SuperRare and #Rarible while operating as a freelance #artist. Discovering the synchronistic crossover of crypto and art led SamJ to utilize non-fungible digital art to propel their legacy.
The pinnacle of the artist’s cryptoart journey thus far is their selection to be one of twenty-nine artists involved in Italian fashion label Gucci’s ‘The Next 100 Years of Gucci’ crypto art exhibition, which launched as part of the brand’s innovative Vault Art Space. Entitled ‘Rite of Spring,’ SamJ describes their digital art contribution as something which “reflects the limitations that we experience when trying to express ourselves in our closest relationships”.
