IranArt : The Dubai Mall's sleek and magnificent ftNFT Physical Space, which has massive picture walls, is now displaying a few works from the "Demons & Kings" series by Iranian architect, designer, and artist Siavash Sufinejad.
The gallery is a subsection of the ftNFT international platform, as stated on its website :
"We are the first to have established the first phygital NFT stores in the world. Located in the two popular shopping destinations, the stores are set to create a large community of artists, collectors, and traders. Moreover, they stand out for offering all the phygital services in one place. From galleries letting artists display their physical artwork to 3D scanners creating avatars for users, the shops are the gateways to the virtual world and vice versa."
Established in 2022, the ftNFT platform holds an international award that ends in a spectacular ceremony and gala dinner on February 27. The award process starts in early February with nominations and public vote. Public Blockchain voting, ftNFT.com market data, and jury considerations are used to determine the winners.
Several pieces from the "Demons & Kings" collection, which took home the top award at the ftNFT Awards last year, are now on exhibit within the ftNFT Physical Space's main walls.
"Demons & Kings" is a work of art made up of twenty-one figures that the artist reproduced from Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, an Iranian book of identification, to create a modern creative piece.
Despite their stunning appearance, these characters seem to be searching for their identities in the modern world as they fix their gaze on the viewer.
