lefty OUT there
lefty OUT there is a multi-disciplinary artist known for his signature polymorphic pattern. His work was born Chicago’s walls, but has since expanded to fine art galleries and murals internationally. While his intricate and repeated shapes began in physical spaces, Lefty began his journey into various digital mediums throughout the last 5 years.
Experimenting with rudimentary techniques such as shadow play and overhead projectors, it has since transitioned to VJing, digital content creation, projection mapping, and ultimately the NFT space. This is Lefty’s third collection on Nifty Gateway which is inspired by the optical art movement. The collection merges his intricate and organic lines with dynamic visual patterns.
