Asprey Studio

@artbasel in Basel is less than one month away 🌟 Presenting a solo booth by @_deafbeef at Zero 10, Asprey Studio highlights 'Hashmarks', a series of forged iron sculptures paired with digital artworks and prints. In computing, a hash functions as a fixed-length alphanumeric fingerprint generated from data. Here, that principle is translated into physical form: each sculpture is uniquely forged and engraved on the reverse with a cryptographic code that can be revealed to redeem its corresponding digital token. The collection consists of 100 unique hand-forged works, each cryptographically linked to a corresponding digital token and connected to a site-specific intervention in Patagonia responding to the movement and geological transformation of glaciers. Each work exists as a 1/1 piece, establishing a direct relationship between material gesture, encoded information, and digital ownership. The series explores how information is recorded and transmitted through time, where geological traces, handcrafted marks, and cryptographic systems all operate as forms of irreversible inscription.

Asprey Studio is thrilled to announce its participation in @artbasel Basel 2026, taking place from 16–21 June in Switzerland. Following successful presentations in Miami Beach and Hong Kong, Asprey Studio will present a major solo project by generative artist, musician, engineer, programmer, and blacksmith @_deafbeef (b.1981), exhibiting at Booth Z3 in Zero 10, the section dedicated to art of the digital era. Bringing together generative digital works and handcrafted sculptures, the presentation explores the relationship between technology, materiality, sound, and contemporary craftsmanship. The physical dimension of 0xDEAFBEEF’s practice resonates with Asprey Studio’s longstanding expertise in precious metal craftsmanship. The sculptural forged iron works reflect a commitment to traditional handcraft while engaging with advanced digital technologies. This dialogue between material and immaterial processes defines the Studio’s approach to contemporary art-making, realised at its atelier in Kent, where silversmiths, goldsmiths, sculptors, and digital animators work side by side. Known for merging programming, engineering, music, and blacksmithing, 0xDEAFBEEF creates works that draw connections between early experimental image-making and contemporary generative systems.

The past week, on Wednesday 29 April, @AspreyStudio, with the patronage of finance executive and art patron Benjamin Segal, has offered a unique, handcrafted, one-of-one silver portrait of His Majesty King Charles III at The @KingsTrust Global Gala Auction, at @ChristiesInc New York. The portrait sold for 80,000 USD. Sketched by Alastair Walker and realised by Asprey Studio's master silversmiths, with Andrew Murphy developing the mesh screens, the work reflects a collaboration rooted in craftsmanship and contemporary practice. In connection with the Trust, Murphy’s studio was established following participation in The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Programme (Southeast London, 2021), continuing the Trust’s legacy of supporting emerging enterprise. The portrait is realised through a meticulous process combining layered screen-printing with traditional silversmithing and goldsmithing techniques. From Walker’s initial sketch to hand-engraved silver elements produced at the Asprey Studio atelier in Kent, each stage is executed by hand, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece. The screen-printing aesthetic references the late 1970s, echoing the visual language of the era in which The King’s Trust was founded, serving as both artistic inspiration and historical context. Rooted in heritage silversmithing, the work underscores the importance of preserving traditional craftsmanship - particularly as silver allied trades are now on the Red List of Endangered Crafts - while advancing the discipline through contemporary techniques.

The @AspreyStudio gallery is relocating to be under the same roof at the Asprey Studio Atelier in Kent. The new gallery will be far bigger and be a unique experience. I’m also planning digital art events in London and globally and it being more experience led. Stay Tuned

MIRROR OF THE META: Incredible Reality - a solo exhibition by Tim Yip, artist and Oscar-winning art director of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. Photography sits at the origins of this practice, stemming from travel, reflection, and imagination.

That’s a wrap 🔥 We are honored to have participated in the second edition of the Zero 10 sector, @ArtBasel’s new initiative for art of the digital era. Our presentation underscored the vital synergy between art and technology, proving how deeply these mediums are embedded in the contemporary landscape. Th large-scale installation 'Lili' by Oscar-winning artist Tim Yip (b. 1961) went viral, dominating the Zero 10 area and serving as the centerpiece for a multimedia showcase that examined how technology continues to reshape cultural memory and material expression. From the British Museum-acquired works of Qu Leilei and the digital aesthetics of @AllSeeingSeneca, to the solid silver transpositions of @jackbutcher digital works handcrafted by the Asprey Studio Atelier (presented by @SilkArtHouse), our booth bridged the gap between heritage and innovation. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this exploration of large-scale installation, AI-generated media, sculpture, and traditional ink painting. We look forward to continuing the dialogue

@silkarthouse @ArtBasel @AspreyStudio @DnoTAO @eli_schein @jalilwahdat @visualizevalue The long term game revolves around the silver sets of Luck produced by Asprey Studio - which will migrate from a fixed price of $8,888 to a market price of 1,111 rolls.
