MONOLITH Gallery@MONOLITHGallery·
We are excited to announce the next phase of MONOLITH Gallery. It will now include a highly curated set of artwork from Chikai Ohazama’s (@lifeofc) private collection. We have completely redone the website to highlight this new curation and invite you to visit it now. monolith.gallery When we first started MONOLITH, it was focused on bringing more visibility to more artists through an innovative exhibition format. Then we were among the first to push forward curation in the Web3 art space being launch partners for SuperRare Spaces, NiftyGateway Publishers, and Foundation Worlds. As this space has evolved and also endured, we think now is a good time to reflect upon the value of what has been collected and not just the latest acquisitions. We are doing this by turning the lens upon ourselves and looking at what our founder @lifeofc has collected and moving them into a new MONOLITH vault to recognize those special pieces and artists. There are 30 artists that have been selected to be part of the inaugural set of works to enter the MONOLITH collection and they are featured on our website with a personal quote from @lifeofc about each artist. We will be highlighting each artist in the coming weeks and we will be adding more over time. The selection process looks not only at the artist and their body of work, but whether we have acquired a notable set of works from them. It could be just one piece or it could be several pieces, but what’s most important is how unique and notable those pieces are within their body of work. The gallery portion of MONOLITH will be on hiatus until we find the right time and opportunity to resume exhibitions and selling artworks. In the meantime, we will be documenting our previous exhibitions and successes on the website to give people context on what we have accomplished as a gallery. We truly appreciate the support we have received over the years and hope to continue to support artists and work hard to build a strong foundation that will allow tokenized art to have a long and prosperous future. The artists in the inaugural group entering the MONOLITH collection are: @aaronhuey @halecar2 @elmanmansimov @_alinatrifan @lphaCentauriKid @Anjsemark @aylaelmoussa @ben_zank @clairesilver @artgirl_essa @GinaChoy_ @_GLOWA_ @Isarusphoto @Jeff_Frost @joeyldotcom @lilyillo @enixsta @iamMehmetTurgut Metamorphe @PasanenJenni @Reuben_Wu @miaforrestphoto @niceaunties @OmarZRobles @Reuben_Wu @rainisto @SamSpratt @samanthacavet @summergwagner QQL @GrantYun2 @tylerxhobbs @yatreda

“I was first introduced to @niceaunties through Fellowship’s Daily program. She has a very distinct style that grabbed you immediately both because it was so unique but also so approachable. She is able to combine elements of her Singaporean culture in surreal ways that feel otherworldly, yet they are grounded in a core truth that is very real and human.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc "Auntiverse - Chapter No. 8, Ikea #0701" by Niceaunties in the MONOLITH Collection. monolith.gallery/collection/nic…

“Whether it be her Chinese calligraphy or her liminal paintings, @GinaChoy_ has a special relationship with the brush. Each stroke is guided with intention and often brings a meditative quality to her work that takes the viewer into the inner world of themselves.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc "The Painted Veil - Eternal Cadence" by Gina Choy in the MONOLITH Collection. monolith.gallery/collection/gin…

@CARDELUCCI is a master of dark tones in photography. She is able to compose a scene to bring out black negative space with high impact. This is best appreciated when looking at one of her hand-crafted platinum prints. She is also one of the smartest and most thoughtful artists in how she uses blockchain technology to establish provenance and integrity of her work.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc monolith.gallery/collection/car…

@joeyldotcom is a master portrait photographer and his work is instantly recognizable. No matter where in the world he takes a photograph and the culture he is capturing, the light touches the lens of his camera with the fingerprints of his distinct signature style. Not only does his style come through, but his genuine love and curiosity of the subjects he photographs is truly felt, whether it be his brother in Canada or the people of Ethiopia, the homeland of his wife.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc monolith.gallery/collection/joe…

Thank you so much @lifeofc for these kind words. I'm glad you get to see what I am trying to convey thru my photography. 🙏 Marcel Marceau used to tell us all the time "There is comedy in the tragedy". Those words stuck with me to the point that they are engrained in every photo I create.

@OmarZRobles has an ability to capture the in between moments of life in a way that is raw and vulnerable but also with a sense of humor that exposes more truth than may be apparent at first glance.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc monolith.gallery/collection/oma…

@enixsta creates a very special and unique world that is informed by who she is and also where is she from. I was first introduced to Mae's work through her collection - seussian, but later on I was able to acquire her first ever mint on secondary and it is one of my prized pieces in my collection.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc monolith.gallery/collection/mae

We wanted to congratulate @Reuben_Wu on his new baby boy! We wish you and your family the very best! “Reuben shows the natural in unnatural light. He is able to distill the expanse of time into a singular moment that is truly magical with profound emotional impact.” - Chikai Ohazama monolith.gallery/collection/reu…

Huge congratulations to @yatreda for their opening at the @ToledoMuseum! Honored to have your work in the MONOLITH collection!🙏🖤🫡 “Yatreda has captured culture and mythology in a modern aesthetic that feels like an ancient medium. Ethiopia is at the heart of the work, but I feel it has the ability to reach far beyond just one country. It pulls us all in by the universal truths it brings to light.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc monolith.gallery/collection/yat…

@ben_zank bends his body in ways you don’t think are possible within settings that don’t seem quite real and yet they appear very real. I was looking for a piece to acquire from his - Urban Abnormalities - collection on secondary, but then - Permanent Case of Brain Fog - piece came along and it was meant to be.” - Chikai Ohazama @lifeofc monolith.gallery/collection/ben…

@miaforrestphoto is such an innovative artist, expressing her work through time lapse, slit-scan photography, and vibrations. It is remarkable how she uses her intricate knowledge of physics and biology to channel her artistic expression.” Chikai Ohazama

@Isarusphoto masterfully uses chiaroscuro in a way that makes her photography feel like a Caravaggio. She can transform the simple things in life into masterpieces. She is also one of the few artists capturing motherhood in a raw and authentic way, sculpting each moment with exquisitely beautiful light.” -Chikai Ohazama monolith.gallery/collection/isa…

I just did a count and I'm proud to say that 50% of the artists in this inaugural group of the MONOLITH collection are women. I didn't plan it that way, but I think it is a reflection of my general collecting habits. Representation has always been important to me and happy to see it reflected in the MONOLITH collection.
