The Ties That Bind

UltraSuperNew Gallery, Singapore, First solo exhibition

A vibrant exploration of self, time, and the spectrum of human experience. Open two weeks, it drew more than 500 visitors, from seasoned collectors to people new to the space.

Seven unique works were unveiled, six 1/1 pieces and one edition, shown across screens, projections, and AR so the technology amplified rather than decorated the ideas. Four of the six found new homes, and 144 editions were collected.

Around the show

Public and private artist-led tours, plus panel discussions on intellectual property and copyright in digital art. Coverage in Vogue Singapore, Tatler Asia, Time Out, and NFT Culture.

Global Showcases

In the past few months the work has travelled widely, W1 Curates in London, the 6060 Exhibition at NFC Lisbon, Reaching for the Future at UltraSuperNew Tokyo, Beijing Contemporary and Digital Paradise in China, and the NFT Korea Festival in Seoul, with public showings on screens from Times Square to a tram stop in Milan.

Looking Ahead

It has been a whirlwind of creativity, learning, and some seriously late nights, a first solo show, new dynamic works, and rooms full of generous, curious people across the world.

Thank you for being part of this wild ride. Here is to more art, more breakthroughs, and more shared success.

Here's to more, Shavonne
