Weekly introduction to new artists on SuperRare.
PAUL REID
Scottish artist inspired by Greek and Celtic Mythology. Still painting Gods and Monsters after all these years.
Edition 1 of 1
The Minotaur was a famous monster
in Greek Mythology, the son of Queen
Pasiphae of Crete and a white bull. His
birth name, Asterion, in ancient Greek
means ‘starry one’ and suggests a link
with the bull constellation Taurus. He
was imprisoned in the labyrinth at
Crete by King Minos and fed a yearly
sacrificial offering of Athenian youths.
Eventually, the Minotaur was slain by
the Athenian prince Theseus with the
help of the KIng’s daughter Ariadne.
Digital painting, 4954 x 6000 pixels.
XIN YU
I am Xin, a Chinese American artist. My work probably says something about me and how I see the world. I like to make beautiful things and distort reality a little bit.
Edition 1 of 1
Like in the famous Renaissance painting
by Botticelli, the New Venus is the Goddess
of Love and Beauty; she embodies a new
hope and a sociocultural shift. The New
Venus represents a rebirth of the gender
ideology of being a woman; she is fearless
and curious, she is not just a statue for
idealization or admiration. — Painted in the
mid-1480s by Botticelli, commissioned by
a member of the Medici family, The Birth of
Venus, is one of the most iconic paintings in
the history of art. Venus symbolizes an
idealized beauty and a religious figure.

Edition 1 of 1
“Carcosa” is my SuperRare genesis piece.
It encompasses several of the mainstay
influences in my art: surrealism, Escheresque
impossible architecture, a preference for
super-saturated color work, and my passion
for weird fiction literature. Carcosa is a
fictional city first created by Ambrose Bierce
in 1886 and expanded upon by R.W. Chambers
in his infamous short story collection “The
King In Yellow”. “Along the shore the cloud
waves break, The twin suns sink behind
the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Songs
that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap
the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa. Song of my soul, my voice
is dead, Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall
dry and die in Lost Carcosa.”

the opposing energies create a
meditative stillness in their marriage.

abundance. Music by La+ch

FRANKIE SUTERA
Frankie is a creative photographer from Salt Lake City, UT.
Edition 1 of 1
This piece represents two of the most forceful
and dynamic elements of life in New York City,
density and motion. New York is an ever-changing,
moving, living organism. A tightly packed
metropolis filled with millions of moving parts,
each with its own story. During this trip, I felt
a sudden realization of the scope of this city,
and coming from an upbringing in Utah I
found the contrast fascinating. This piece is
my effort in capturing the density and motion
of New York City; a place that was instrumental
in broadening my perspective of the world,
and driving my growth as a photographer.
FINN

Finn’s images have earned him a loyal following and clients such as Apple, Cartier, Tesla, Audi and Omega. Finn has published two best-selling books on photography (available in 11 foreign language editions), and his work has been featured by many notable publications such as The Guardian, Wired Magazine & Forbes.
Edition 1 of 1
“The Whale’s Mouth” is the first piece in my
“Atmøs” NFT collection. This is a series
celebrating the elements in full flow. How
small we all are in comparison. I love nothing
more than capturing their unrestrained might
at work. This particular piece depicts a rare
“Whale’s Mouth” cloud formation/thunderstorm
that threw lightning bolts, fierce winds, tornadoes,
and hailstones the size of tennis balls across
the East Coast of the US in 2018. One of nature’s
most alarming and astonishing phenomena,
the shelf cloud looming over Manhattan, is
often referred to as a ‘whale’s mouth’ since
the dark and ribbed formations give the
impression of being consumed by a giant
whale. Regarded as one of the most severe
weather events on record to pass through
the Hudson Valley, I wanted this NFT to expand
on the story depicted in the image. Using
the token itself as a canvas, I have inscribed details
associated with the storm (pooled from news
& area weather reports from the area) into the
metadata. This link that NFT’s provide, a blend
between art and technology, forms a unique
record of a rare atmospheric event now
immortalised on the blockchain.

Wrong Theory
HARRY PACK
My practice encourages the viewer to turn their mind from the fragility of the material world, towards a contemplation of something more stable and infinite. I depict a visual realm at once fantastical, foreign and strangely familiar. Three-dimensional, dreamscapes composed of fractal shapes and ordered geometric patterns are populated by extra-terrestrial forms, anthropomorphic machines and plant-life moving purposefully throughout spaces that operate as portals into the psychological.
Edition 1 of 1
Mung-wok is a multi-lingual elf, capable of
morphing into any living creature he looks
at. He is a friend to all, including those he is
yet to meet. To them he appears as one of
their own. He spends most of his time investigating
the natural landscape meeting and helping all
the wonderful species he encounters. When the
sun begins to set you can hear him singing his
name to the other animals, they find this incredibly
soothing. The tone of his voice magically synchronises
with the warm glow from the sun, allowing them the rest
they need. These ancient psychedelic creatures are
expert healers, capable of manipulating reality.
They stumbled across our dimension a few
millennia ago, bringing wisdom and mischief
along with an infinite supply of laughter. They
harnessed the magical energies of the invisible
realm in order to manifest themselves amongst
us. Using complex mystical powers to intricately
intertwine and sew their sacred intelligence into
the fabric of our lives. They teach through plants
and playful metaphors, showing us how to realign
with the natural flow of the multiverse.
