Beeple is a renowned American digital artist, graphic designer, and animator who is best known for selling non-fungible token collections. In his artistry, Beeple utilizes a wide range of mediums to create comical, phantasmagoric works that make political and social commentary while using pop culture figures as references. Beeple initially entered the crypto space in 2018 but remained largely passive until early 2020, when he began learning about the then-newly launched NFTs.

Fast forward to late 2020, the NFT artist Beeple tokenized his “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” as an NFT collection, which later went on to gain massive value and sold for nearly $70 million. In October 2020, days before the United States presidential election, Beeple released three artworks on the NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway, including an NFT collection called “Politics Is Bullshit,” which sold for over $6.6 million.

Since then, Beeple, known for his groundbreaking NFT art, has launched some of the most costly NFT collections such as Mother of Evolution, Human One, a kinetic 3-D video sculpture, Pilgrimage, Spring/Summer Collection 2021, Genesis NFT Collection, All Hail The King Collection, Everydays: Group Effort by Beeple Collection, Time The Future of Business Super Rare, Beeple // Everydays: The Rebirth of Godzilla and many more NFT collections.

Beeple Heaven + Hell 4th Edition NFT Collection Overview

For his fourth edition of the Heaven+ Hell NFT collection, Beeple has employed generative AI to create the artwork. To make this work more unique, Beeple has used open-source models that were trained on millions of historic depictions of heaven and hell. In this way, the artwork is said to represent the median human understanding of these complex abstract concepts. The NFT artwork features dual rotating boxes that reflect the polar opposites of these ideas.
