Yue Minjun, one of the most prominent blue-chip contemporary artists, enters the Web3 arena with an adventurous and groundbreaking multi-chapter project Kingdom of the Laughing Man. Boundless, this collection's first drop integrates unique and fun traits in Yue Minjun's iconic self-portrait style. Each piece breaks tradition, reinterpreting the artist's work through the prism of blockchain technology. Akin to Andy Warhol's transformative approach in the '60s, leveraging industrial production methods and commonplace brands to revolutionize modern art, Yue Minjun employs the crypto-centric ""PFP,"" or Profile Picture, model. This strategy, often undervalued by traditional art circles, allows for releasing 999 unique 1/1 works, each standing as a vital piece worthy of collection. Boundless signifies more than just the first chapter in this extraordinary collection; it triggers a paradigm shift, bringing renowned traditional artists into the Web3 space.

This space has been my home for over two years now. I arrived here as a nobody, and little by little, I met the most amazing people who believe in me and my art. "Midnight Muse | " is my way of saying thank you for being a part of this journey. It is a piece inspired by my biggest muse, Japan, and also a tribute to my father who is hopefully watching all this journey from up above.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being in this journey with me, and for believing in my art.

Im pleased to present my new series EX STASIS: a collection of four audiovisual art pieces which speak to my ecstatic experience of creation; a unique feeling which excites and motivates me to keep creating and exploring in the field of photography and visual art. A development from my Lux Noctis (drone lighting) project, this series focuses more on the intimate landscape, using practical in-camera lighting effects to interact with the immediate surroundings. As it gets dark, my surroundings cease to be an exterior experience and become a subliminal space, and thats when I feel most connected and aware of my sense of being. This dynamic terrestrial chiaroscuro synchronises with my sound design and music to form singular looping pieces which draws the viewer in.

Diamond Exhibition

Underneath our sealed skin is an incomprehensible darkness that reaches to the bone. Umbra is a term used to describe the dark inner shadow our moon casts during an eclipse. Our bodies create an umbra, casting an inward shadow that propagates (like good soil) the light we create and project into the outer world. Our hands are agents of this umbra within, and here hold totems of the four elements: earth, water, fire, air. 

Bone: Earth  element, from dust, to dust 
Crystal Ball: Water element, peering into the waters of the subconscious 
Green flame: Fire element, vitality and passion to guide us through the dark
Dagger: Air element, intellect and choice words cut like a blade through air
