\"Still<\/a>
Still from Poppy<\/em>, 2022, by Ignasi Monreal<\/a>. The flowers, skies and insects in Monreal’s AI-powered digital paintings change in response to fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Spanish multidisciplinary artist Ignasi Monreal<\/a> has produced an animated series of NFTs titled \u201cBL00M<\/a>\u201d (those are zeros, not Os) to headline our spring exhibition and auction of the same name, which focuses on the human experience in relation to flowers. Working in collaboration with London-based animation studio No Ghost<\/a>, Monreal has created flowers that react to fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A complex series of algorithms causes the flowers to bloom in response to financial upturns and wilt when the price dips. Many more visual cues \u2014 including a changing sky and buzzing insects \u2014 inform the depiction of the floral landscape’s flourishing and fading, capturing the nuances of natural cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each NFT features one of three types of blooms \u2014 poppies<\/a>, tulips<\/a> or lotus flowers<\/a> \u2014 selected because of qualities ascribed to them at different points in history. The poppy alludes to the opium produced from its seedpod and hints at the sometimes addictive nature of cryptocurrency exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Lotus,<\/a>
<\/em>Still from Lotus<\/em>, 2022, by Ignasi Monreal<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

In Eastern cultures, the lotus flower is a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening, as well as of prosperity and success, which gives the work a sense of duality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Monreal, the tulip is the flower with the most conceptual power. \u201cIt relates to the financial bubble created by tulip mania in 17th-century Holland, when the price of these flowers went totally wild because of a trading trend<\/a>. The type I\u2019ve shown is the Semper Augustus<\/a><\/em>, one of the rarest tulips of that time and now extinct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this striped varietal, Monreal explores the push-pull between \u201creal\u201d and \u201cassigned\u201d values in commodities markets. Interestingly, the flowers in an NFT blossom when it sells, reflecting a less volatile and more subjective \u201cemotional worth\u201d connected to individual taste, he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted to create an NFT that my 70-year-old grandmother could understand,\u201d Monreal says. \u201cThe big question was how to bring poetry to a currency<\/a> that fluctuates so much. I wanted to attach life to it. Thinking of the perfect symbol of timeless beauty, it had to be flowers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept behind his work may be easy to grasp, but its underpinnings convey a multitude of messages. For one, the work builds value around creativity from a \u201cmoving time\u201d perspective, so that time really is money.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Tulip,<\/a>

Moreover, each NFT is both limitless and limited, ever changing yet bound to a shifting transactional structure<\/a>. The works also challenge traditional methods for evaluating art, because a falling crypto market doesn\u2019t necessarily make the art any less desirable as a collectible asset<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the value of Ethereum<\/a> drops and you are losing money, you may see a side to this piece that you may have altogether missed had the markets boomed that day,” Monreal points out. “The petals fall, the bees hover. There’s much beauty in these changes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the centerpiece for \u201cBL00M,\u201d his dynamic digital garden also cultivates connectivity: Four other innovative artists explore the many subtle meanings of flowers, touching on everything from their sensual and spiritual symbolism to their decorative value and ephemeral elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"What<\/a>
What a Beautiful Place to Breakdown,<\/em> 2022, by CoverArtGuy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

For the London-based collagist known as CoverArtGuy<\/a>, nature has a restorative quality. His What a Beautiful Place to Breakdown<\/a><\/em> (2022), in which a vintage black-and-white photo of a woman leaning on her car appears amid a bright oasis of colorful flowers, is about embarking on an inner journey of self-renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted to create a piece that represents that moment when you realize you need to step back and adjust,” explains the artist. “The commuter is put into this situation through an inconvenience but has nothing else to do than stop and smell the flowers, creating a human experience that a lot of us have or will go through. I\u2019ve always loved using flowers in collage, as they have a warm, nostalgic feel to them. The connection we have with flowers and nature in general is something that is needed in the NFT\/digital space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Child<\/a>
Child of Light<\/em>, 2021, by SOULPAINTS<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Kyle Lee, who goes by the handle SOULPAINTS<\/a>, explores more historical paths to spiritual fulfillment. His Child of Light<\/a><\/em> (2021) has Pop art<\/a> piquancy, showing an angel enveloped in cosmic symbols that include a fiery crescent resembling a blazing sun or perhaps a sunflower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Denton, Texas-based artist, the piece is coded with a deeper message about nature\u2019s endless creation and man\u2019s place within it. \u201cA \u2018child of the light\u2019 actually means to be a student of wisdom, forever learning about yourself and growing with your environment and experiences,” he explains. “The work was inspired by 17th-century hermetic philosophy, which was practiced through visual documents that compared the inner workings of man to things found in nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Bedroom<\/a>
Bedroom View<\/em>, 2022, by Aris Roth<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Influenced by gaming and manga\/anime aesthetics, Aris Roth<\/a>‘s futuristic dreamscape Bedroom View<\/a><\/em> (2022) features a strong female figure who appears emboldened by the natural scenery around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this piece, flowers represent peace, beauty and connection,\u201d the Germany-based artist says. \u201cThe peace we find after sneaking away from a busy place. The beauty of observing the night through a bedroom window. The connection we feel from talking with someone about a thing that means something to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Wild<\/a>
Wild Thoughts<\/em>, 2022, by Shay the Surrealist<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Metaphors are also deeply ingrained in the work of Delaware artist Shaylin Wallace, aka Shay the Surrealist<\/a>, who collaged a Northern Renaissance<\/a>\u2013style still life of florals, fruit and a hummingbird inside the silhouetted head of a young man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor this piece, called Wild Thoughts<\/a><\/em>, I used images of flowers that are double-exposed inside of a figure\u2019s head. Some of the flowers have bloomed while others are in the process of blooming, to symbolize a sense of inner change that\u2019s happening in the figure\u2019s head,\u201d Shay explains. \u201cWhen we look at people, the first thing we notice is their outer appearance, unaware of what\u2019s going on inside of their head. Our thoughts can sometimes be very dark, depending on what we\u2019re going through, but they can also be very beautiful and bright.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This powerful sentiment ties together the various narrative strands in \u201cBL00M.\u201d As the artists bring their wildest visions to life in the metaverse, we too must take stock of our emotions in a world of expanding possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n

Alexandra Zagalsky is a London-based journalist specializing in luxury topics, art and travel content. She began her journalistic career in Paris, where she worked on a cultural guide for English-speaking expats. Her first big break was an interview with Lionel Poil\u00e2ne, the late, venerable baker from Paris\u2019s Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s district who popularized the two-kilogram sourdough loaf and once made a bread chandelier for Salvador Dal\u00ed<\/a>.

Zagalsky moved back to London in her early 20s and has since worked with a number of august publications, including the Week<\/em>, the Telegraph<\/em>, the Times<\/em> and a variety of art and design outlets, such as Introspective<\/em><\/a> and V&A<\/em>, Sotheby\u2019s<\/em> and Christie\u2019s<\/em> magazines. She studied fine art and the history of art at Goldsmiths, University of London, and continues to explore the contemporary art scene, including the world of NFTs.

She has written extensively on the subject of vintage watches<\/a> and describes the Cartier<\/a> Crash as her favorite timepiece. \u201cIt\u2019s a great emblem of the Swinging Sixties and an adaptation of the house\u2019s classic Baignoire<\/a> Allong\u00e9e wristwatch, its sinuous Daliesque style apparently inspired by a model brought into the London Cartier workshop that had been distorted in a car crash,\u201d she says. \u201cI love it for all sorts of reasons, not least because it\u2019s so unconventional and daring, as all great design objects often are.\u201d
