PrintingBlocks

Florian Adolph (born 1977) studied Interdisciplinary Art and Free Painting at the Städelschule academy of fine arts in Frankfurt am Main. Since 2006, his work has focused on the conditions of human perception in a medial context, using imagery that consciously vacillates between abstraction and representationalism, always questioning these perceptual patterns. Against this backdrop, he develops new, interdisciplinary methods of artistic production. In his current works, Florian Adolph uses blockchain technology in the form of NFTs, thus expanding his work to include the dimension of functionality. In time for the Art Cologne art fair, Florian Adolph has realised a series of 10 signed prints on paper for provinz.digital. The owners of these physical prints will receive the respective, corresponding NFTs as a digital original via provinz.digital; we will also publish ten unique NFT “PrintingBlocks” on the Ethereum and WAX blockchains. Each “PrintingBlock” will automatically generate one new unique digital print per month for a year from January 1st, 2022. With this functional reference to prints and printing plates, Florian Adolph illustrates the equal importance of analogue and digital processes for his work.
