Alec Monopoly Unveiling Full Collection of New Work Available for Purchase Using Only Cryptocurrency Exclusively With Eden Gallery
The disruptions being caused by the arrival of cryptocurrency to traditional financial systems and institutions are consistent with many of the themes found within Monopoly's work. The use of 'crypto' as the exclusive form of payment for his new collection is a natural extension of Monopoly's intention to criticize the systems his work targets and explore new forms of self-autonomy. In his own words, Monopoly has declared that "Crypto is a modern way of doing business. It connects people around the world by allowing them to bypass antiquated financial systems that no longer serve them, or never served them at all. For me, it's the way forward." Cathia Klimovsky, owner of Eden Gallery, has expressed her support for this new direction: "We have always loved Alec's work. With its provocative, colorful imagery, Alec provides an incredible commentary about modern society. By making this collection available exclusively through the use of cryptocurrencies, he's sending a strong message about the direction financial transactions are going in, especially in the art world. It also gives incredible access to a broad range of new collectors who may not have had access previously." The collection will be available to collectors in person and online at https://www.eden-gallery.com/collection-by-alec-monopoly from the 11th of April onwards.
Originally from New York City , Alec Monopoly's graffiti art can be seen in urban environments across the world, including New York , Miami , Los Angeles , Europe , Mexico and Asia . Growing up in New York City with a classically trained painter as a mother, Monopoly considers himself a lifelong artist. Monopoly has established himself as one of the foremost artists of this genre. His unique style takes a lighthearted approach, rather than the typical grim slant of street art, differentiating him from his contemporaries and giving his art a relatable quality.
