In 2021, even Sotheby's announced its participation in auctioning the "Cube" NFT artwork by artist Pak, adding to the surprises of the year. Furthermore, as the global pandemic continues to impact industries, the integration of physical and NFT assets has become a digital hotspot worldwide.

Renowned Calligraphy Master Cai Yulong Leads the Way into the Digital World

Master calligrapher Cai Yulong, born in Taiwan in 1952, has had a passion for stone inscriptions since childhood. He integrates Chinese calligraphy with Western culture, creating a unique "modern calligraphy" style. His works have been exhibited in various cities worldwide, such as Shanghai, Tokyo, and London. In 2017, he was awarded the United Nations "Outstanding Award for Multiculturalism." In most of Master Cai Yulong's works, one can vaguely see his spirit of heritage. This time, under the auspices of the prominent collector Liu Yuankui, owner of "Imperial Collection Xiang," Master Cai attempts to launch classic NFT works such as "Tao Te Ching," "Heart Sutra," and "Incense Inscription" on the "Jcard Art" platform. What is most admirable is that besides calligraphy, ink painting, calligraphy painting, and abstract painting, Master Cai Yulong, who is approaching his seventies, is willing to break through the traditional framework of his artistry for new attempts. This signifies that more classic masters will continue to push their boundaries, becoming an irreversible trend.

Emerging Artists Discover New Utopia and Join NFT Master Creation Contest

In the first "NFT World Master Contest" organized by the Taiwan International Association of Contemporary Artists, 95 works have been shortlisted. These works come from over 30 countries and, after many pieces were listed on the first cross-disciplinary NFT platform in Asia, "Jcard Art," they were immediately acquired by collectors worldwide. Driven by this opportunity, many emerging Taiwanese artists are eager to release their new works on NFT platforms for the first time.

Solitary (composed of artists Yu Bai'an, Zhang Jianing, and Chen Enjia), with "loneliness" as the core theme, represents the "young generation." Although the three have different painting styles and expertise in creative media, they incorporate elements such as "fear under the pandemic," "doubt about the passage of time," and "loneliness" into their works, expressing the anxieties and uncertainties of the younger generation, standing out among many creators.

CFPP, also listed as an emerging artist, has won multiple awards in Japan and showcases an avant-garde and diverse artistic style. CFPP, an alias artist, challenges digital art with a new identity in the NFT field, creating a new world for his artistic career, sparking a desire for mystery and understanding of his creative background.

Another artist who has joined the platform is "International Master Time Lin," a celebrity in the oil painting industry. Despite starting late, his innate creativity has led him to numerous international awards within a decade of studying oil painting, including the fifth place in the 2017 Florence Biennale "Lorenzo International Award," the first, third, and fourth places in the 2019 American Art Awards, and other top honors in the art world.

Time Lin's NFT works listed on "Jcard Art" this time, with "Time of Clouds and Rain on Wushan," use 3D images and music to present the relationship between the sexes in a poetic audio-visual form on the digital platform. Such collectible and appreciable works cannot help but be disseminated worldwide through NFT platforms!

Just a Moving GIF File? The Future Is Here, Will You Join?

Amid the global NFT craze, in addition to celebrities gathering attention and fans, and artistic creations, more and more cultural and creative audiovisual content choose to release NFTs, leveraging the spirit of NFT, "integration of virtual and reality," to the fullest. Only by utilizing digital and online power can physical industries succeed, a trend that applies to all sectors now.

Although blockchain technology has entered its 11th year of development, the NFT trend only started to heat up in early 2021. However, the continuous participation of many masters and artists indicates that this wave of enthusiasm is just the beginning. In a scenario of limited quantity, frequent purchases, and the need for preservation and appreciation, the ultimate winners are often those who can foresee the future.
　
To facilitate the circulation of collectibles, most issuing platforms have also added functions for collectors to buy and sell to each other. Some platforms even price in USD, giving these NFT digital goods not only collectible and flashy attributes but also an incentive for appreciation and sale value, rapidly integrating into the online world of the general public!
