PARTNERSHIP WITH LINTON & KAY GALLERIES
KINEKT 2021
The state’s first-ever in person non-fungible token in-person art exhibition presented by Linton & Kay Galleries.
KINEKT is Nicola's first exhibition since the completion of her BA Fine Arts from Curtin 2005, displaying a recent body of work from the past two years.
Represented by Linton & Kay Galleries, KINEKT is a first for both the artist and the gallerists, being an exhibition of purely digital and NFT works presented on 4k screens and projected onto a large-scale cyclorama for an immersive experience.
KINEKT strives to make the connection between fine art and digital art, starting the conversation about the application of NFT, digital art and the fine art market. Coxon's work explores interactions between paint, ink, pigments and solvents, and how these chemicals and substances mimic our cosmos on micro, macro and mega scales. These innate and inherent properties of liquids and their interactions/reactions to each other are reflective of universal algorithms.
One piece, KAI will be held as a silent auction and made as an exclusive edition of one with NFT. All funds from this sale will go directly to the KAI EARDLEY FOUNDATION which endeavours to save lives of young men and women by changing the stigma around expressing their emotions. The foundation believes that through their workshops they can reduce the upward trend of youth suicide. Claire Eardley tragically lost her son KAI to suicide in 2016.
Mental health and suicide prevention advocacy is very important to Nicola since losing her own sister to suicide in 2006 and then her friend Thom in 2012.
