UncuttArt x Neurite, Dropping Exclusive 1/1 NFT at Art Basel

UncuttArt x Neurite, Dropping Exclusive 1/1 NFT at Art Basel

Recently I’ve found myself getting more into art. I never was much of an “art person,” but NFTs taught me that I just wasn’t looking at the right art. Artists like Cat Dirty, Showdeer, Dario De Siena, Vinnie Hager, and more have opened my eyes to what’s out there. This week, UncuttArt, a prominent street artist, will be joining them in the world of NFTs, bringing his unique style to the digital realm.

Back where it all started

UncuttArt has been a street artist for over a decade, but Art Basel in 2014 was where he really came on to the scene. That year, he introduced his #ProtectYoHeART mural in Miami; a mural which can now be found in almost every major city in the country. You may have seen it yourself, and if you haven’t, a quick search on Instagram will pull up some of the 3 million social media posts with the work of art. UncuttArt is returning to Art Basel to launch his genesis NFT, with an auction taking place from Monday November 29th at 9:00PM EST to Friday December 3rd at 9:00PM EST.

A creative drop

To send people to the sale, there will be QR codes dropped around Miami that will lead to the auction. From there, people can bid on the 1/1 piece, animated by Neurite, aka Carmen Aguirre an NFT artist, animator, and creative director.

Carmen, is an illustrator, animator and creative director who is also a medical student. Her work in the NFT community bridges a gap in medicine and art by bringing awareness to mental health. She uses her work to raise awareness but she also donates 10% of her profit to a local non-profit called the mind deconstructed and has raised over 10 thousand dollars for charity.

Additionally, anyone who shares and reposts the code will receive a free Uncutt scarf, part of his signature look. The NFT is expected to look like one of UncuttArt’s signature designs (below) and will come with a signed print.

The bigger picture

As more people are embracing NFTs, we’re seeing an increase in well-established physical artists coming over to the digital world. People with years of experience in physical art like Dalek and Buff Monster have even begun collaborating on NFT projects. As I mentioned at the start, I’ve only recently gotten into art (thanks to NFTs!) so I’m excited to see more talented physical artists hopping into our world.
