Zaire Baptiste presents “Gather,” a collection of work from black artists available to see at the Chelsea Market Concourse. Artists featured are Deborah Baptiste, Voodo Fe’, Lyndon McCray, Tyson Hall, Felicia Dunson, and Zaire Baptiste. These artists are transitioning from a 2-dimensional space to the NTF market.
“Corn” by Voodo Fe sold for $10k USD, as an NFT, with the buyer receiving the physical artwork with the purchase.
For some of you who do not know what NTF’s are, it’s a Non-Fungible Tokens. A unique public digital certificate of authenticity or proof of ownership that can not be replaced. Artists have the opportunity to maximize their exposure giving us (the public) the opportunity to buy from some of our favorite artists and own what can potentially be a piece of history.
Voodo Fe is a leading artist transitioning into the digital sphere with his ” Disrupt Art” collection. He has an 8ft art piece titled “HIM ” that turns stationary art into reality using your mobile device. If you haven’t seen this in person, you are missing out! It’s a secret that only you know about and an awesome conversation piece.
Zaire Baptiste works with each of the artists and was heavily inspired by his mother, Deborah Baptiste, whose first exhibit of work is beautifully named “A Mothers Love.”
Lyndon McCray‘s “Pre-Social Media” showcases his mixed media and charcoal-infused work. Actor Tyson Hall, along with Felicia Dunson and Zaire Baptiste provides a mix of abstract and graffiti-inspired work titled “The Color of Thought”.Â
“This exhibit is truly dear to my heart,” says Zaire Baptiste. “I put this together as a representation of community and family, all of the artists exhibited, I actually work with, they are my community. My mother’s work is my history, watching her artistry is what inspired me, and the Black Family, my family has nurtured me into the person I am today, this is “Gather” an exhibit of the work closest to my heart, and we are excited to present it at Chelsea Market.“
The exhibit is available until Thursday, March 31, 2022, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM at Chelsea Market.
