What is art? Where is it heading? Is art still in the hands of artists and art dealers or it has become a tool for the crypto speculators? The world is changing, everything becomes more virtual including art and in the process a lot of speculators are trying to twist things in their own interest like in the case of NFT. The crypto speculators are trying to make this the new “COOL” but what is so cool about it? Art is food for our souls, If they want this to be the new truth then they should start doing everything virtually, for example start eating virtual food or maybe get drunk with virtual alcohol, if they do this then by all means we will start to believe in their vision. As for us- galleries, artists, collectors… should we let hundreds of years of artistic refinement in the hands of the crypto speculators that don’t even know the difference between renaissance and contemporary? What about the painters, photographers, print makers, sculptors, performers and all the other artists who create real work, work that we can touch, smell, feel… should we give up on them for the sake of a speculative game? No thanks!!! NFT should be embraced as a new medium/tool like we always did along the way with a lot of other things but it shouldn’t be allowed to take over! If it does take over then an entire generation of artists and their works will vanish in thin air making way for the crypto speculators and their pyramid. Should we allow this to happen on our watch? The aim of this publication is to promote real art made by real artists! “All colours will agree in the dark” - Francis Bacon Kindly note that most of the works are for sale. For any enquires regarding artists, prices, purchase, shipments- you can kindly contact us at email@boomergallery.net or contact the artists directly via Instagram (Instagram user name in the bio).

Thomas Oscar Miles<br />
My art looks to inspire self empowerment, through embracing<br />
our vulnerabilities. This is celebrated through fragile and<br />
detailed imagery, centred around the narratives. In my work,<br />
I talk about personal fears and darker experiences. I give my<br />
characters opportunities to wear these like a crown. How can<br />
we appreciate our light when we brush the darkness under the<br />
bed, ignored? I hope that my work can show people how multi-layered<br />
each one of us is, showing a unity in our humanity.<br />
I talk in my work about personal experiences such as mental<br />
health and my ever-growing relationship with my autism. I<br />
choose to represent these in my work through visuals such as<br />
decay, bones, and shadow filled corners of a woodland. My<br />
new series ‘Our Beautiful Demise’ speaks on a similar theme:<br />
wearing our fears with pride, binding them tightly to our flesh.<br />
I have grown up fearful of my personal shadows, I now instead<br />
hope to educate others on this and create a platform to spotlight<br />
issues we all go through.<br />
