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.

Artwork: ‘Reaching for a Hand to Hold‘, 2020, NFT, Edition of 3.
