Two-time Academy Award-winning actor painter and composer showcases his first-ever NFT collection in collaboration with premium Web3 content studio
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Orange Comet, Inc., a premium NFT (Non-Fungible Token) creative media and Web3 experience company, today announces its distinguished partnership with Sir Anthony Hopkins and the launch of his first NFT series, The Eternal Collection. This collaboration marks an extraordinary endeavor for Sir Anthony Hopkins, expanding his artistic expression into the metaverse with one of the leading NFT and Web3 tech companies today.
The Eternal Collection conceptualizes an interpretation of the vast character archetypes Sir Anthony Hopkins has portrayed over his illustrious film career, drawing its potent energy from his prolific body of art. Through a series of thought-provoking images and animations, this NFT collection immortalizes Sir Anthony Hopkins’ diverse archetypal interpretations of Eternal: The Jester, The Lover, The Rebel, The Hero, et al.
The Eternal Collection is a rich and intimate exploration into the many facets of Sir Anthony Hopkins’ artistic virtuosity. The digital NFT series will also feature an exclusive once-in-a-lifetime IRL event for collectors, giving them access to engage with one of Hollywood’s greatest icons.
“When Margam Fine Art approached us with the artistic vision to bring Sir Anthony Hopkins’ artwork to the metaverse, we knew this was a unique opportunity for the world of NFTs,” said Dave Broome, CEO, Orange Comet. “This relationship is a superb symbiosis of technology and art from one of the finest actors and artists of our day. With Orange Comet at the helm, Sir Anthony Hopkins’ artwork will inspire for generations to come.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins, a true renaissance man, emerged as a painter in 2005 with a solo exhibition curated by Harte International Galleries, showcasing him as a notable contemporary artist. His vibrant abstract paintings are continuously evolving and are featured in distinguished collections worldwide.
“As an artist, I am inspired by the power of art, music, cinema and the illusionary dreamlike quality of life,” says Sir Anthony Hopkins. “The metaverse offers an incredible opportunity to connect with an audience in an entirely different way. Taking my art to the next level, with NFT as my canvas, is truly an exhilarating proposition. I’m probably the oldest guy in the NFT community and on social media, proves all is possible at any age.”
The elaborate NFT design and animations of The Eternal Collection, under the artistic direction of Orange Comet’s Chief Creative Officer, Dante Ferrarini and Sir Anthony Hopkins, is set to captivate and connect audiences in unprecedented ways.
The forthcoming drop will be in partnership with OpenSea, the world’s leading peer-to-peer marketplace for NFTs. Sign up at AnthonyHopkinsNFT.com now to stay informed on the latest news surrounding this one-of-a-kind partnership and follow on social media @OrangeComet.
