About the FREQ NFT Collection
ElmonX’s NFT releases have included some of the world’s most famous artists, such as Patrick Hughes, Cécile Plaisance, and even the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, FREQ’s NFT collection marks the first-ever 3D digital artwork on the platform. Moreover, the collection allows holders to view the NFT in Augmented Reality, making it a unique and immersive experience.
The FREQ collection includes four different digital collectibles, each with limited editions:
- Wanksy Original – 269 Editions
- Wanksy | Artist Proof – 13 Editions
- Fukin Liberty Original – 269 Editions
- Fukin Liberty Artist Proof – 13 Editions
Additionally, the ownership of the Artist Proof edition unlocks a physical hand-signed FREQ limited print – an 18x24in Hahnemühle Bamboo limited print made from 90% bamboo fibers. The soft surface texture and impressive print quality give the artwork outstanding expression and soul.
About the FREQ NFT Drop
Fukin Liberty:
Part of FREQ’s sold-out concrete street art collection, Fukin Liberty draws inspiration from political and historical events. The piece references France’s gift of the Statue of Liberty to the United States as a symbol of friendship following their successful collaboration during the American Revolution.
However, the artwork also explores the potential implications of this gift as a political maneuver rather than a genuine act of goodwill. Through this piece, FREQ invites viewers to reflect on the complex relationships between nations and the ways in which symbolism can be used for political gain.
Wanksy:
Initially intended to be exhibited alongside the Art of Banksy traveling exhibition in the spring/summer of 2021, Wanksy is one of FREQ’s most recent works. Unfortunately, the exhibition was closed due to lockdown restrictions, and the piece was never exhibited or shared with the public.
The artwork features a character fondling a banana while waving a flag emblazoned with the tag ‘Wanksy,’ a playful nod to Banksy’s own tag with a rotated ‘B.’ Despite the humor and irreverence of the piece, it also invites viewers to reflect on the subversive power of street art and the ways in which it challenges societal norms and expectations.
