NEW YORK, NY.- Christie’s New York announces a partnership with revolutionary digital artist FEWOCiOUS to present his latest collection, Hello, i’m Victor (FEWOCiOUS) and This Is My Life, a coming-of-age story told through art. Consisting of five new, unique NFT works of art, along with five physical paintings and never-before-seen drawings, FEWOCiOUS’ series speaks to his personal experiences as a young, transgender artist between the ages of 14 to 18. The works will be offered in an online at Christie’s from 23-30 June in celebration of Pride month.

FEWOCiOUS has exploded onto the art scene in the past year at 18 years old, by defying norms and breaking barriers with his digital art. Building upon Christie’s strong track record and established expertise in the NFT space, Hello, i’m Victor (FEWOCiOUS) demonstrates the auction house’s commitment to showcasing innovation and emergent talent within the nascent digital art market.

Each of FEWOCiOUS’ five new 1/1 NFTs, each accompanied by a physical painting, captures a year of his growth and the transformation of both his artwork and his inspiring journey from childhood life in Las Vegas to Seattle, and from Victoria to Victor. Each NFT is paired with a collection of newly and never-before minted doodles, drawings and journal entries, hand selected from his archives from that year.

Noah Davis, Head of Digital Sales at Christie’s, remarked, “Christie’s is thrilled to collaborate with FEWOCiOUS on the sale of this inspiring series—a collection that is at its core about the realization of a dream. The artist’s passion shines through, and depicts the path he took to becoming his true self—making it exceptionally powerful.”

Now living in Seattle, FEWOCiOUS first started creating art at 13 years old in his hometown of Las Vegas. His foray into digital art was born as a refuge and escape. FEWOCiOUS sold his first painting at 17 years old, and within a year, he was able to relocate to his dream city in the Pacific Northwest to continue his practice, through the sale of NFTs.

"I couldn't stop crying so I decided to draw my feelings. It distracted me and calmed me down. I don't want to die. I just wish I was heard. The only place I'm allowed to cry is my art. I wish someone would hug me. I'm tired of pretending. I refuse to live my life pretending to be someone who I'm not. My name is Victor. And I will let the world know," he writes.

Each 1/1 piece is paired with a 1/1 original painting plus a collection of newly and never before minted doodles, drawings and journal entries, hand selected from his archives from that year (14 for year 14, 15 for year 15, and so on).

The artist’s recent drop, FEWO WORLD, was a groundbreaking collaboration with RTFKT, the next-gen sneaker and collectible creators who merge the realities of fashion and gaming. Each NFT came with a real world pair of shoes or other fashion piece, generating more than $3 million in sales in a matter of minutes. His latest drop Fabricated Fairytales was released in March 2021 in collaboration with close friends parrott_ism, odious and Jonathan Wolfe. To date, FEWOCiOUS has grossed $18 million in NFT sales.

For this auction, Christie’s will accept Ethereum and Bitcoin as currency for purchase of the FEWOCiOUS NFTs.

A Clubhouse to celebrate the announce of the auction will be held Tuesday June 15th at 12:30pm ET on the NFT Club channel, hosted by Farokh with special guest Noah Davis in conversation with FEWOCiOUS.
