FVCKRENDER Enters the World of Sculpture Through ‘FEEL//’ and ‘TOUCHED//’
Made in collaboration with Avant Arte.
Frederic Duquette, aka FVCKRENDER is typically known for creating digital renderings of alien forms that animate through an unnerving set of loops. As a first for the Canadian artist, FVCKRENDER has entered the world of sculpture through two new editions titled FEEL// and TOUCHED//.
While his digital artworks are typically cast in an iridescent glow, FEEL// and TOUCHED// are strikingly opaque — the former in a pure white, while the latter in violet. Made in collaboration with Avant Arte, both sculptures hark to an earlier NFT project FVCKRENDER created called SELF_HELP//, which reflected the artist’s handling of a personal crisis.
“Art is a way to clear my mind. It’s a way to celebrate the wins and leave behind the losses,” said FVCKRENDER in a statement.
FEEL// and TOUCHED// continue on this mode of art-making as a form of therapy — where FVCKRENDER depicts a trio of hands that soothe the face depicted in the center. FEEL// is an edition of 12 and available to purchase for $4,311 USD, while TOUCHED// is an edition of 20 and priced at $2,790 USD.
