24 Hour Live Auction Starting 18th January 6 pm est on Nifty Gateway
Join King’s Twitter Space, January 18th at 12 pm est, to hear directly from curator, artist and gallery
With the start of a new year, King of Midtown is kicking off 2023 by not only curating an artist of new heights, but by also sharing a message to the community that is embodied through her artwork and personal story.
Introducing Angela Nikolau, world’s first female rooftopper.
After first noticing her work, King immediately grew admiration for Angela’s fearlessness, beauty, adventurous spirit and determination to constantly redefine the possible.
Coming from a humble beginning and overcoming obstacles that would have broken many, Angela’s journey symbolizes how the ‘impossible’ only appear this way when we place limits upon ourselves, allowing circumstances to overpower our ambitions and dreams. Angela not only emulates this message and life motto through her thoughts and actions, but more importantly through her art.
Also experiencing a unique childhood, this message instantly resonated with King, building a deeper and more meaningful connection. From respecting her artwork, execution, personality, engagement in the community and more, King genuinely believes Angela will be one of the leading and long term artists innovating this space. Curating her first drop on Nifty Gateway, this is King’s way of showing his belief in Angela’s trajectory and to introduce more collectors to her work through a new marketplace and first edition release (Angela has currently only minted 1 of 1 artwork).
Releasing this drop alongside Angela as his first curation of 2023, this collection is a reminder to everyone still here that: all our dreams are possible, we can not let circumstances define us, there are no limits to where this journey will take us and, most importantly, in moments of darkness, have faith, have hope, and find deeper connections through community and art that will guide you to the light.
Artwork Information
Ultimate Freedom
There are no limits really, only the ones that we choose for ourselves. Your impossible might be possible for someone else just because they see it this way.
Things are impossible if you limit yourself to it. This art is about breaking free and letting your spirit reach new heights.
The circumstances will try to ground you – don’t let them.
You can do this.
And you will.
