FEWOCIOUS
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
Now living in New York, FEWOCiOUS first started creating
art at 13 in his hometown of Las Vegas. His foray into digital
art was born as a refuge and escape for the young transgender
artist. FEWOCiOUS sold his first painting at 17, and
within a year of that, was able to move to his dream city of
Seattle to continue creating, through a series of successful
NFT drops.In June of 2021, he hosted a groundbreaking
and record breaking auction with Christie’s Auction House
in celebration of “Pride Month” which sold for $2.16mm. In
March of 2021, he collaborated with RTFKT, the next-gen
sneaker and collectible creators who merges the realities
of fashion and gaming. In the auction each NFT came with
a real-world pair of shoes or other fashion pieces, generating
over $3mm in sales within seven minutes. Additionally,
FEWOCiOUS' drop “Fabricated Fairytales” was released
in early 2021 in collaboration with best friends parrott_ism,
odious and Jonathan Wolfe.
He was featured in Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Day Sale
in London, auctioning off his first ever life-sized physical
sculpture of a handmade and hand-painted suit encased
in an acrylic box. The sculpture was the genesis piece
from the FEWO WORLD metaverse fashion and generative
customizable character drop and sold for $2.85mm.
FEWOCiOUS has amassed nearly $50mm in sales for his
art thus far, solidifying his place among the most popular
NFT artists today and arguably making him one of the
most influential artists of this generation.
