Energy Portal #33 - Pixel Pete

Collection

Energy Portals

Description

Are you an Energy Portal? Energy Portal #33 - Pixel Pete is a portrait of artist & collector Pixel Pete. Pete collected 'Energy Portal #5 - Claire Silver' when the series was launched. EP #5 is a portrait of artist Claire Silver, that works from her Cryptopunk PFP. After the work was collected, Claire decided that she would like to own her portrait. I proposed to Pete that I make a custom portrait of his Cryptopunk PFP, much like I had done with Claire's punk, that I would then transfer to him in exchange for the return of EP #5 - Claire Silver NFT to me, which I would then gift to Claire. Pete kindly agreed and was excited to support the work ending up with Claire. I worked together with creative feedback and ideas from Pete to create this new work. Intuitively I had left Energy Portal number 33 unminted, from a series that ran until EP #35 when the series first dropped. I had a feeling I might need to add something, but wanted to indicate the size of the collection rather than keep adding to the total number. Beginning as physical paint, the Energy Portals are the spiritual beings that have emerged from Matthew Stone's painterly digital paradise. They move easily between worlds and are also the portals that allow others to do the same. Energy Portals are a series of NFTs and paired physical linen canvases by artist Matthew Stone. The linens were displayed at an exhibition titled "A Portrait of the Artist in the Metaverse" at The Hole gallery in New York. The NFTs were displayed in Stone's own gallery, Magic Energy in Cryptovoxels. Those who buy primary sale NFTs from Opensea can claim a free, 1/1, physical, hand-signed, 60cm x 70cm printed linen canvas from The Hole Gallery after the show closes (shipping/import taxes & charges may apply). Those who buy linens from the gallery can claim a free corresponding NFT, that will be transferred from this collection.
