It has been an exciting year for the art world. The most recent Hiscox Online Art Trade Report expresses that 56% of art buyers and 65% of online art platforms believe digital art transactions are here to stay. We will certainly continue to see these numbers go up and artists will continue to benefit from being in digital galleries.
4ART Exhibition offers beautiful, inspiring, and impactful art in the virtual collections that artists choose to make public. With 4ART World Award, hundreds of visual artists participated to expose their work to a broader audience, and create their virtual galleries with 4ARTechnologies.
Here you have the 10 favorites of collectors, art historians, and visual experts who were part of the jury.
10. Akelo – Andrea Cagnetti
Andrea Cagnetti – known as Akelo (from “Acheloo”, Greek waters divinity) – is an Italian sculptor, designer and goldsmith.
Akelo’s Kinetic Art introduces the concept of movement inside the work, freeing the creations from the frame or pedestal. It also allows further emotional and perspectival involvement of the viewer in the artistic creation.
Sayaka Asai is fascinated by the “accidental beauty that comes naturally”. Producing her own patent for a special design technique during college, she creates works using ice to dye cloth. This special method granted her the third Place in the 4ART World Award Competition.
She started her career as an artist in Paris after graduating from college and currently is based in Tokyo, holding solo exhibitions in Japan and overseas, as well as participating in art fairs.
