Centred around the inspiration of the “The Hypocrites” series, the write up talks about Alvin’s use of art as a medium of protest. Amidst the lockdown, Alvin’s struck inspiration and trusted his intuition to create artworks that were based on the political situation at the time.
As an entrepreneur, he realized that the emergence of NFTs presents a new opportunity for him to sell and monetize his work.
“As I am a physical artist, I also wanted my works to be in the form of NFTs. Most of my best physical artworks are not for sale as I am the most ardent collector of my art. When the NFT boom started, I knew that I could have the best of both worlds by keeping my favorite physical works for myself and selling only the digital NFT versions.”
