New York, NY, Nov. 10, 2023
Pioneering NFT Art Platform, PolyOne, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated NFT drop “A New Day” by acclaimed British-Kurdish artist Tishk Barzanji. This extraordinary collection marks a milestone in the world of digital art and NFTs. Tishk Barzanji, continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his exquisitely ethereal creations and PolyOne launches on its mission to harness blockchain and the creator economy as engines to benefit the greater good.
Known for his unique blend of surrealism and architectural aesthetics, Tishk Barzanji has been gaining increasing global popularity among art aficionados, collectors, and crypto enthusiasts. His distinctive signature style, characterized by vibrant cityscapes juxtaposed with silhouetted human figures, has earned him sweeping acclaim. From groundbreaking commissions for Las Vegas hotels and Rockefeller in New York, to stealing the spotlight at Art Basel Miami and his spirited collaboration in London with iconic Sketch Bar and Bombay Sapphire, Tishk Barzanji has taken the worlds of art, culture and luxury lifestyle by storm.
Tishk Barzanji’s exclusive collaboration with PolyOne began in 2022 with PolyOne’s historic NFT music and art exhibition at the ancient Citadel of Erbil, Kurdistan – Iraq, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dubbed the “Oldest Continually Inhabited City” in our world – in the Cradle of Civilization. Born in Kurdistan, Tishk Barzanji’s family fled persecution and relocated to the United Kingdom when he was eight. “A New Day” honors his native Kurdistan and PolyOne. The stunning images were created for PolyOne’s Genesis Exhibition in celebration of Nawruz - the Spring Equinox celebrated for thousands of years at the Citadel. Nawruz means “A New Day.” The largest outdoor NFT exhibition in the world at the time, PolyOne cast a spotlight light on our collective human story of Genesis, and A New Day for humanity.
The drop, hosted exclusively on PolyOne NFT Marketplace, features the collection created for the Erbil exhibition as well as other works. These stunning and personal digital one-of-one artworks explore the themes of transformation, renewal, and a new era.
“When the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq granted PolyOne unprecedented permission to use the magnificent Citadel of Erbil as the backdrop for our genesis celebration, we knew the exhibition would be incomplete without the extraordinary talent of Tishk Barzanji. It was a privilege to be a part of this special homecoming - The art world’s rising star and Kurdistan’s returning son. Tishk paid artistic tribute to his homeland, and to PolyOne. We were deeply grateful to both Tishk and the KRG for their graciousness. We’re thrilled to continue our celebration of the spirit Kurdistan. And we’re proud to present the exquisite art of Tishk Barzanji, with PolyOne’s “A New Day” Drop,” said PolyOne Founder, Shawn Emamjomeh.
