About
Jack Kaido's digitally-native art explores abstraction through the modern era.
Cited by Christie’s as one of the artists at the forefront of digital art today who are influencing the future of the medium, Kaido's art is positioned within the emerging genre of fine art digital abstraction and is released through blockchain technology; cryptoart collected via cryptocurrency.
The internet is canvas, tool and subject matter for Kaido. The digital language the artist lives and interacts with - web browsers and tabs, computer UI, apps, social media, pixellation, glitch and text - are weaved with collage-like abstractions rooted in the influence of art past and present. He draws upon a wide range of influences, from the prehistoric cave painters to the Japanese woodblock artists, the Impressionists, Cubists, the European and American Abstract Expressionist through to contemporary art and crypto-art.
Kaido's digital paintings have sold at Christie's and Sothebys and exhibited internationally, including at Christie's in New York, at Saatchi Gallery in London as part of the British Art Fair's landmark Pivotal: Digitalism exhibition and alongside the art of Jackson Pollock in the Hamptons. He is one of the few artists with an artwork in outer space. One of his paintings was sent into space and aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Axiom Space’s AX-3 mission in early 2024.
Collectors include Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia and many of the foremost collectors of digital art. He is represented and managed by the contemporary digital art gallery Art of This Millennium (AOTM).
Kaido released a debut series of limited edition prints through Avant Arte in late 2024.
