The metaverse is taking shape before our eyes, and artists like Fvckrender, aka Frederic Duquette, are making it happen. A 3D artist by trade, Fvckrender creates deeply moving works — some of which have sold at Sotheby’s and Christie’s for thousands.
The Vancouver-based artist has worked with Lil Nas X, Lebron James, Puma, Spotify, Instagram, Supreme, Christian Dior, Hypebeast, and many other big names. After selling NFTs on marketplaces like SuperRare and NiftyGateway, he wanted more. So he’s entering the metaverse — or rather, building his own called LVCIDIA.
LVCIDIA is an immersive virtual gallery filled with sculptures that represent the fragility of our existence, as well as the beauty of our humanity. Most recently, Fvckrender launched the much-anticipated Fvck_Avatar NFT collection of 12,969 unique avatars. These PFP avatars will act as “beacons” or landmarks in LVCIDIA.
We were able to catch up with Fvckrender to learn more about the world he’s created, as well as his new PFP project.
