Austrian artist Glod, winner of the AIBC Asia 'NFT Project of the Year 2022' award, opened 'Studio Glod Gallery' at the metaverse

The virtual gallery 'Studio Glod Gallery' built on the metaverse space construction platform Spatial was opened by Austrian artist Glod on 14 June with a digital event under the motto 'Step into the (art) future'. Marcin Glod, who studied Communication Design at 'die Graphische' in Vienna, exhibits his artworks worldwide and cooperates as creative director in projects with brands like Red Bull, Uber Eats or Deloitte. Glod combines classical paintings, iconic works by pop-artists and comic figures for a re-imagination in street art style such as the character Pink Panther which is known from the eponymous cult movies.

The Pink Panther appears in various roles casted as pop-art-star in Andy Warhol-like changing colors portrait sujet series at the 'Crypto Panther Club' room of the new metaverse 'Studio Glod Gallery'. The Crypto Panther Club is introduced at the gallery with background information about the digital project which received this year attention by media such as by bitcoinnews.ch for winning the title 'NFT Project of the Year 2022' at the Asia Investment & Banking Conference (AIBC Asia) in Dubai (details about the project presentation in Dubai).

The 'Studio Glod Gallery' can be accessed with (by connecting social media accounts or entering the email address) or without registering via Spatial; without registration, the look and style of the avatar appears randomized (fast checked by Fashion.at today). It's easy to walk through the three spaces - one large room, a sort of 'main ship' with an opening in the ceiling to the sky, and two side aisles - of the gallery which is located in a building on the ocean with windows for views to the open sea and sea cliffs. At the entry to the gallery headlined with 'Step into the (art) future' on Marcin Glod's website at glod.art/metaverse/, users are invited to visit the artworks also in real life in the Glod studio in Vienna.
