Bridge Over Reason
Artevo Collection

VESA transitioned from a filmmaker to a contemporary artist with his own style, when he discovered that through bodypainting, painting, photography and digital collaging he could express something unique in 2008. The process resulted in digital originals, which prompted him to enter the crypto art and NFT scene early. He needed the technology 10 years before it became available. The work is made via painting, photography and digital collaging over multiple days.

Bridge Over Reason is a work from his early sessions with Sepi, the second ever model to work with VESA. The work was made in 2008 but first was seen in public in the artist’s first ever gallery show in June 2009. Very few of these works have been minted on any chains, as they hold a certain legacy space for VESA. Now finally, through ordinals, they will become available.
