Constantine Nicholas: Exploring identity through art
March 2024
Purely Abstract | an exhibition of collected works on Solana.
Curated by Constantine Nicholas
You are invited to view a curated show of abstract works I have collected on Solana, from 2022.
“Purely Abstract” now showing @collector_sh
Featuring the talents of 1/1 artists known well on #Solana
I’ve always wanted to curate a show on abstract art. I mean pure abstract work. Which to me is the non-figurative, the non-literal, where the subject matter is mostly a pure form of expression – emitted from the artist’s hand or connected tool but intrinsically formed with the sensibility of the medium in hand.
Feature artists: Silvia Anan, Ben Harley, Culture Hacker, Designz, Thorpart, David Tiong, Granuled, Yugor, Os, 000Million, Avekno, Steve Bennett and Edward Neumann.

And the thick gloss finishes enhance the luminosity of gold and silver, creating a striking contrast with the black and sometimes red featured in his art…“

photo-based
Photography can tell a compelling story when executed well. ‘photo-based’ is a curation of digital works by 20 artists collected on-chain, on Solana. Photography was one of my first loves and introductions into the world of light captured on 35mm film. From the age of 15, all I wanted to do was to take photos.…
