Checkered Heart

Love and Games, or a Checkered Heart, read into it what you will?

I have created 4 new original digital prints with Augmented Reality to be released exclusively on Bluethumb.

Each a heart floating in a digital realm as part of my ongoing Crypto Hearts/Love Art series. A series that continues to explore the metaphor of a heart, of love, of the luminous beauty of the imagined world.

My Augmented reality (AR) prints come alive when viewed through a smart phone or a tablet.

A print to grace your wall, a virtual animation when viewed through the free ARTIVIVE app, also each comes with an NFT. A contemporary art notion that an artwork can exist in both a physical as well as a digital form.

My first painting that incorporated Augmented Reality was of a Skipping Girl neon painting exhibited in the 2014 Melbourne Art Fair. Later that same painting was shortlisted for the Wynne Art Prize at the AGNSW.

However, it was during the start of the pandemic that I returned to creating Augmented Reality artworks, digital artworks and NFTs. During the lockdowns and closed borders, I wasn’t able travel to take photographs for paintings and my galleries were effectively closed. I found a way to create images digitally and to sell them worldwide as NFTs, (Non-Fungible Tokens), basically unique digital art that is recorded on the blockchain to certify authenticity and ownership.

These original digital works of art are limited to only an edition of 10.
