Gallery Delaive is delighted to present “Falling”, the first NFT collection by Yuina Wada. It consists out of 89 unique drawings minted with the ERC721 smart contract on the etherhum blockchain. All the NFTs together make a moving video (GIF) with the last layer connecting to the first so you can see the circulation eternally. Yuina Wada: “The style of animation ‘GIF’ is ‘old-fashioned’ on the internet. I like that because it is so ‘minimalistic’. I’m so inspired by SUPER FLAT by Takashi Murakami because I’m a Japanese painter. Murakami loves a legendary animator Yoshinori Kanada. His animation drawn by hand is also ‘old-fashioned’ in Japanese animation. My making animation is just beginning. This time I tried to draw a human moving (with long hair and a dress) and water flowing. The meaning of the story is an allegory of life. You know that a falling makes a jump, right? Falling and jumping are also ‘minimalistic’ of life. That is beautiful. :)”
Yuina Wada, born in 1989 in Gifu, Japan, is a talented artist who graduated from Nagoya University of the Arts. Her artistic journey gained momentum when she was awarded the prestigious Shin Suzuki Prize at GEISAI#17. It was during this event that Gallery Delaive first encountered her work, sparking a collaboration that has flourished for over a decade. For the past ten years, Gallery Delaive has proudly represented Yuina Wada, showcasing her original artworks at our gallery located on Spiegelgracht 23 in Amsterdam. We invite you to explore our website to view the available artworks by Yuina Wada. If you are interested in purchasing an original piece, please don’t hesitate to contact the gallery. Yuina Wada: “I loved drawing and painting from childhood. I came to love bright colors and shiny materials from about 14 years old. I have been studying the way to paint and work with them. And I think about the world of mind. I want to paint about that.”
