Des Lucréce

The artist has encountered many types of personalities throughout his life ranging from welcoming to — not as much. With the rise of covid, Asian xenophobia was at its all-time high.

“ My mother ran a nail salon throughout the pandemic in a small southern town. It doesn't take a creative imagination to imagine what could've been said about her and her business during this time. The Monsters project was born out of creating portraits of the types of personalities I saw spreading hate online about either the business or Asian people as a whole. The project has since grown to include other characters I've encountered while being viewed as the other.”

The Monsters collection will consist of 100 unique 1 of 1 hand-drawn 3 frame Monsters. At the occasion of this auction you’ll be able to discover 5 of theses new characters: The Timekeeper, The Endmaker, The Mitter, The Riddler, The Proctor

This series has the particularity of providing an interactive and evolutive collection the collector can fully be part of !

The collector of DesLucrece work also gets to be part of the artistic process using the systems of evolution the collection offers through the use of The Fusion Chamber, enabling its holder to fuse 2 DesMonster NFT he owns.

You can request which attributes you want from each monster to influence the outcome! The artist will, of course, use his artistic judgment to guide you to the best potential outcome. 

Evolutions will work a bit differently. Random Evolution Stone drops will occur at the end of the series. These stones will have elemental properties that change the background and monster to fit the corresponding elemental property such as Fire, Electric, Psychic, Water, and Air. 

Those innovative mechanisms offer an interesting long term perspective to this project and imbricate within the artistic universe of Des Lucrece smoothly while leveraging creative ideas about the artist to collector relationship.
