About
BEYOND THE STREETS presents Alexandre Farto aka Vhils digital block chain collection. Vhils started on his path in contemporary art at an early age with a fascination of graffiti and writing his name – but he was compelled to further experiment with this ephemeral act and develop a deeper pictorial language within public spaces. Through a passion for exploration, Vhils has created one of the most unique visual languages of his time, literally breaking boundaries with his bas-relief carving techniques. Vhils brings this energy into the digital space with a collection of works created with explosive charges to reveal intricate portraits on the wall, forever capturing the exact moment of transformation. From initial detonation to existence these artworks are created in only 2000 frames per second and only through slow motion capture as a digital NFT can these works exist and be experienced in this analyzed perspective.
