Since 2018 the gallery has been certifying physical works of its exhibited and represented artists through the blockchain technology powered by Verisart. In 2020 the gallery started working with NFT artists and delved deeper into the world of Web 3 through its work with NFT artists providing a physical space to explore digitally native art.
Please give a short statement about yourself, your work, your art, your aesthetics, your vision, and everything else you want people to know about you as a person active in the blockchainart and cryptocollectibles space.
GAZELL.iO is the digital arm of Gazelli Art House, comprising an online Residency programme, NFT drops and collaborations, a dedicated Project Space, and a permanently installed VR Library — all in the heart of Mayfair, London.
Since 2015, the GAZELL.iO Residency has offered a unique insight into the environments of some of the most recognised and upcoming VR, AR, and digital artists. The four-week online Residency allows artists to take creative control, enabling them to showcase their artistic journey and interact with new and existing audiences directly.
In 2020, the Project Space was launched to allow artists to showcase their digital artworks in a physical space. By bridging the gap between the digital and physical, NFTs are dropped on the GAZELL.iO Marketplace in conjunction with the subsequent Project Space exhibition or artist Residency.
GAZELL.iO aims to bring pioneers of digital art and a new generation of artists to a broader audience through its dynamic exhibition and educational programme.
