John Van Hamersveld

Collaborative interactive artwork by Coldie and John Van Hamersveld, this composition explores the shared life experiences of both artists as they come together in a highly customizable, living art format. This artwork was created in real-time for the Bonham's auction in November 2021. Elements of this project were captured days prior to minting the artwork including New York City landscapes captured by Coldie. We believe that important experiences can be from long ago as well as a day ago and they hold the same historical significance. The visual vernacular of John Van Hamersveld shares both a realistic and surrealistic vision of what is possible in the real world, as well as the dream world.

The artwork created is meant to bring the viewer and collector inside of our shared dream reality and allow for the story to be visually told through the collector who owns each layer. The variety of options give the opportunity for the layer owner to express their current feelings about the artwork and share in real-time how it affects the total artwork.

Coldie and John Van Hamersveld met through cats. Coldie curates a charity cat-art exhibition in the metaverse and met John through is own love of cats and his cat-themed murals he had created throughout Southern California. This layer is very symbolically significant as it represents the genesis of our relationship as artists and friends.

The owner of this layer chooses the cat that will be shown for this artwork.
