Semi-pseudonymous artist jvmi’s “swatches” series is one of Base’s best-selling series. As a front-end developer for Ethereum’s second layer Optimism and a streetwear designer, he relies on his technical coding skills and graphic design expertise to create dynamic digital artworks. His ultimate vision? To create an art world that encourages viewers to get up close and personal with the digital works.
“I often find myself getting too close to paintings in exhibitions,” jvmi recently told OpenSea. “About a month ago at SFMoMA, I got so close that the security guard had to remind me to step back.”
