Today, October 14th, TON Diamonds is launching the first auction house on TON and removing the “beta” sign from the marketplace. The auction house launch is a momentous event in the world of NFT on TON, thanks to which The Open Network blockchain will appeal to more digital artists and their fans. In the recent years, NFT auctions have gained global popularity with big players such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s entering the field.

2022-10-13 21:31:54 ​Pokras Lampas, Ellen Sheidlin, and Brickspacer will be displaying their works at the TON NFT Exhibition in Dubai from Oct. 14 to 15.

Starting tomorrow at the immersive art center Art In Space in Dubai, the TON NFT Exhibition, organized by TON Diamonds, kicks off.

The works of Pokras Lampas, Ellen Sheidlin, and Brickspacer will grace the event, which will also see participation from StickerFace and G-Bots.

Pokras Lampas (482,000 followers on Instagram) is a name even people outside the art world have heard. The artist is famous for large-scale projects and collaborations with household names, such as Binance, Lamborghini, Fendi, Dries Van Noten, Nike, Adidas, Nasdaq, Comme Des Garçons, Apple, and more.

His original works are in the hands of private collectors all around the world (the royal family of the United Arab Emirates collects his work), and his NFTs have set records on the Russian market.

Pokras Lampas will be personally presenting his art at TON NFT Exhibition.

The TON community is already well aware of who Ellen Sheidlin (4.3 million followers on Instagram) is. The artist released her “Annihilation” collection on TON, but in Dubai, she’ll show the world a single installation called “Memory of Soul.”

Sheidlin will also be at the exhibition.

Brickspacer (215,000 followers on Instagram) is a famous motion artist who, in 2021, made the list of “30 most promising Russians under 30” for Frobes’ “Art” category.

The artist has worked with artists Slava Marlow, Little Big, and Face, and he’s the founder of the large crypto art community NFTBastards and the 111hata creative collective.

Brickspacer will unveil his “OCTOPUS BOYZ: GENESIS” piece, which will be the first of a new NFT collection.

We’re excited to see more big names from the world of art join the TON ecosystem.

The idea that The Open Network has the potential to become the central hub for talented people who create digital art is inspiring.

He is one of the founders of the creative association 111hata, and he also established the NFT agency “ARKA” which helps artists enter the world of crypto art.

At TON NFT Exhibition, Brickspacer will present his first NFT on The Open Network blockchain — a genesis artwork that will serve as the basis for his future NFT collection OCTOPUS BOYZ:

The quiet haven of worldly tranquility and the abode of comfort was disturbed by thunderclaps, in tandem with sparkling lightning, one cozy, but painfully strange evening.

This time we are not talking about the usual bad weather on a weekday, but about a tearing crack in the matter that torments the firmament, which is about to open up and reveal to the world something new, unique in its own way, and, one might say, epoch-making.

Before your eyes, the birth of a whole horizon of events is taking place, thanks to the seemingly tightly glued duct tape covering the hole in space and time, the fragments of which we are now observing — a piece of insulating canvas is saying goodbye to us, driven by gusts of wind, and through the crack burst…

OCTOPUS BOYZ — a collection that will launch on the TON Diamonds marketplace, and we’ll soon uncover in more details. The collection’s history starts with a genesis work presented at the exhibition in Dubai on October 14th and 15th. Open / Comment

2022-10-12 16:34:22 Ellen Sheidlin will present her new single piece Memory of Soul as part of the auction at the TON NFT Exhibition in Dubai.

In July Ellen Sheidlin launched her first NFT collection Annihilation on TON, which was recently exhibited at Focus Art Fair, Louvre Museum. In a few days, TON NFT Exhibition visitors will have another chance to enjoy Ellen’s creations. For this event, the artist prepared a new artwork called Memory of Soul which will be put up for sale as part of the TON Diamonds auction house launch.

Following the Annihilation collection, Ellen Sheidlin will present a stone that plays an important role in her life, the preciousness of which is proven with love to her mother and grandmother. Smoky quartz is the most material form of planet Earth’s birth. This exact gemstone is a major symbol of the creative beginning in Ellen’s family.

Smoky quartz is a fossil preserved in the thinnest layers of the underground world is as if a relic of the long gone past, almost unobtainable and phenomenal in its properties. It’s the darkest of all stones that ever existed, as well as the most dangerous and the only one that observed the world at its dawn, absorbing millions of years of history. The stone’s memory is vast, its soul is ephemeral, and it causes déjà vu since it keeps the ancestral memory of the past and the dead.

This piece will be exhibited on October 14 and 15 at TON NFT Exhibition in Dubai. Open / Comment
