Obvious Collective

« In 2018, we were among the first French artists to create NFTs." says artist 2.0 Pierre Fautrel. Four years later, the collective of artists of which he is a member exhibits his works at Galeries Lafayette on the occasion of a summer season dedicated to the French Touch. Composed of three artists, the Obvious collective works on AI art, a subcategory of crypto art that uses artificial intelligence (AI). " When other artists use paint or a camera, we use AI algorithms, it's our working tool », explains Pierre Fautrel. With more than 50 works in five years, these precursors of crypto art in France saw their legitimacy explode in 2021 with the democratization of NFTs. Meet.
