The Icons Collection will present NFTs and physical artworks, exclusively available for sale on LiveArt this January — benefiting the Trussell Trust

LiveArt is pleased to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with pioneer multi-disciplinary artist Chris Levine to introduce his first NFT collection, Icons. Launching this January, the collection comprises 500 unique 1/1 NFT artworks, each accompanied by a signed fine art print. Spotlighting Levine’s iconic images of cultural luminaries, including Banksy, Sir Paul Smith, and Kate Moss, Icons offers an innovative fusion of digital and physical art. Additionally, LiveArt and Chris Levine are committed to positive community impact and will donate a portion of the sales to the Trussell Trust to support their efforts to combat hunger and poverty in the UK.

Chris Levine is celebrated for creating some of the most iconic imagery of our era, including the universally acclaimed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Widely acclaimed for his revolutionary light art, including holographic portraits and compelling light installations such as “Molecule of Light,” recently showcased at the 2023 Noor Riyadh Festival, Levine’s works grace the collections of esteemed institutions like the National Portrait Gallery and V&A Museum in London and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. His career reflects the transformative power of innovation in art.

Levine’s artworks, which regularly sell for over $200,000 USD at major auction houses and galleries, are now entering a new era with LiveArt. Creatively integrating data, art, and Web3 technology, LiveArt establishes a sustainable digital art market for artists that consistently delivers multi-million dollar sell-outs and has cultivated a robust community of over a million digital art enthusiasts.

The Icons collection marks a significant leap for the artist, blending Levine’s signature light artworks with his acclaimed photographs through Web3. Each unique digital artwork is paired with an exclusive signed fine art print, offering collectors a comprehensive art experience.

Chris Levine comments on his foray into Web3: “As I watched the evolution of Web3, I saw immense potential for new forms of artistic expression. My work with holography was just the start; now, delving into Web3 allows me to further explore light and form.”

Boris Pevzner, CEO and Co-Founder of LiveArt says, “Chris Levine’s Icons collection, featuring iconic personalities from the worlds of art and fashion, is a milestone in the NFT space. Bringing his celebrated holographic portraits to Web3, this project aligns perfectly with LiveArt’s mission to innovate on the intersection of art, digital technologies, and Web3. We are proud to collaborate with Chris in bringing his unique vision and craftsmanship to global Web3 audiences.”

Icons by Chris Levine will be launched exclusively on LiveArt on January 31, 2024.
