Suntur’s NFT collection up for auction

-

Suntur, a well-known Thai illustrato­r and painter, is today launching his big NFT collection “8760 Hours” that captures each hour throughout the year in another parallel digital world.

This is his special project presented in line with the debut of 1b1, an online art gallery for NFT with blockchain technology, that interweave­s art and technology specially for artists and collectors.

The total number of artworks in this collection are 8,760, which represents each hour during a year. They were inspired by the artist’s special moments in his life including his memories or even dreams. Each piece depicts the story in different hours and an AI technology called Generative Art was used in the making process.

“Creating this collection, to be honest, made me feel very excited because it is like seeing the surreal moments becoming real,” said Suntur, or Yozanun Wutigonsom­butkul, who is reputed for his unique style that catches our eyes at first glance.

His collection­s are known both in Thailand and abroad, such as “A Little Letter From Someone To Somewhere”, “Zero Decibel” and “Picnic With Suntur”. His works combine both clean and neat compositio­ns while the main element flawlessly plays a perfect role in telling the story to the audience.

For him, NFT is not only the new innovation that helps deliver art to the audience but also plays a part as a tool for the artist to create both wider and deeper joined experience­s with the audience.

Now available for auction, the “8760 Hours” collection is considered to be digital exclusive as it allows collectors to buy only one piece per person.
