“I never have descriptions for my works as I want the viewer to watch it freely and interpret the piece as they see it. With a description, I already would push the viewer in a certain direction.”
— Marco Mori
For this drop, crypto art OG and 3D motion artist Marco Mori joins forces with story-based NFT art curator Not Fungible for its ongoing “Chronicles” series. Not Fungible has tapped Mori to create a piece that tells the story of crypto in the breakthrough year of 2021.
In late 2020, Mori had already become a sought-after motion artist tapped by brands like Puma, Clergerie, and Universal as well as musical artists like Gorillaz, Young Thug, and Kanye West. Though always busy on the client side, Mori made sure to make time for the personal projects that lit up his creative spirit. Mori, who’d already been stashing his own cryptocurrency since 2012, noticed 3D artists he admired selling work on the blockchain.
“I had a whole body of autonomous work, ready to be sold,” was Marco’s immediate thinking. “This is my chance,” he realized. He seized that chance and has focused entirely on his own creations ever since, thanks in no small part to the bull run of 2021, represented here by his commission for Not Fungible.
Who is Marco Mori?
German-born Marco Mori realized his passion for 3D and motion design during his studies in Augsburg, where he majored in interactive media. His passion for this kind of art spurred a body of work that truly speaks volumes for itself.
The artist digitally constructs bold and visually bustling scenes that evoke a reaction from viewers while also engaging them in a dreamily volatile world. The animations are chromatic and theatrical in nature, eccentric characters draw the attention of many. Mori’s concepts are authentically his own, he is a visionary that occupies a well-established style unlike any other.
The many projects he has achieved attest to the range of talent the young artist is capable of. He is steadfast in cultivating and enriching his expertise to create works that are better than the last.
