The Artist: MaNiC Art
MaNiC Art creates his own reality through art, to illuminate the climb towards his crypto dreams. Enhanced creativity and expression is made possible in times of heightened energy… with the themes expressed in MaNiC’s art often drawing on the low energy times.
"For so long I wanted to get on SuperRare. That's what changed things for me. Until I got on there I struggled. I kept pushing and pushing and going in to Spaces, introducing myself and sharing my story. Finally I was in a Space at the right place at the right time and someone heard my story and before you know it I was on SuperRare. You have got to put yourself out there. It's a hustle and grind. You gotta make noise."
The Collection: SuperRare 1/1s
A patchwork of paint and glitch serve as the raw materials for the portraits of MaNiC Art. Heavy black outlines absorb the viewer. A vignette into an expansive landscape in ‘Couch with a Broken Leg’ and ‘Quiet Surrender of the Sun,’ closes off the subject matter from its broader surroundings. The sparing use of glitch animation serves as a highlight not a distraction in ‘Loud Silence’ and ‘Listen to My Soul.’
A Specific Artwork: Broken Down Daydreaming at the Desk'
An energetic bloom of mandarin riffs with the discarded candy floss in the upper right. A maelstrom of bones fills the left half of the frame while still playing an imagined role behind the dripping wet desk sitting protagonist. A crackling of thought is revealed in this piece, with the description ‘Staring at the void, brushes trapped in fleeting dreams will I ever break through?’ a textual resonance of what it already felt.
"Once you have confidence, then potential collectoors become confident and they want to invest in you because they're like 'man this guy believes in himself'. That took time to have that, because I didn't always believe in myself. This space literally helped me grow. I was kind of broken for a long time."
