Description

Year 6, Age 19 - Growing Pains is the latest installment of “Hello, i’m Victor (FEWOCiOUS) and This Is My Life”, FEWOCiOUS’s first solo sale with Christie’s in 2021. After retrospectively exploring Ages 14 - 18 in the last auction, FEWOCiOUS is now creating this new collection for his latest year, Age 19. This lot contains: A 1 of 1 NFT with a paired physical painting in a custom milled and gilded frame. This physical painting will be created in realtime on a livestream in the week leading up to the auction with the culmination of the creation happening live at Christie’s until the final bid is in. In addition to those pieces, this lot includes 19 pieces of archival work that will be minted as NFTs and presented as physical prints - all archival works will have been created during FEWOCiOUS’s 19th year. These physical prints will come in a custom made trunk, designed by FEWOCiOUS. The final addition will be two of the rarest custom characters from the upcoming FEWOS drop as part of FewoWorld. In FEWOCiOUS’s words: In the desert, the sun beats hot on the flowers. It makes them shrivel into crisp, dead fossils. Cooked into nothingness. I stayed there in the heat, I reached my petals to the sky and touched the unforgiving sunlight. Somehow I survived there, shriveled, half-dead, and alone. I grew in a clay pot that was too small for me. I felt the shards of clay cutting into me. I can still feel where they were now, phantom pains. I dragged myself out of the sunlight. I shattered the pot. I shaped my drying petals into wings and taught myself to fly. I can go anywhere I choose. It is terrifying, and exhilarating. The world is there, and I think I am finally ready to embrace it. I don't need to be a perfect flower to be allowed to grow. I can have tears in my leaves, dry petals, burns, smudges, and wilted edges. I found my place in this world within my own heart. It keeps beating.
