“Generato non creato” is Auriea and Michael’s first collaborative art work since a few years and Michael’s first NFT-project. The work is inspired by historical ornamentation and specifically by the beautiful monstrances that contain the Blessed Sacrament during Eucharistic Adoration in Rome’s many churches. It is a homage to Saint Pope John Paul II who had a deep devotion to the Eucharist even when he suffered badly from severe Parkinson’s disease at the end of his life. The title of the work comes from the Nicene Creed of which fragments are displayed in the background. It refers to the son being generated from the father, not created like the rest of us.
This project is part of the digital section of Cure³ at Bonhams, curated by Alex Estorick and Foteini Valeonti of reGEN.
Mint opens on 3 February at 11 pm CET.
