## About

FVCKRENDER is a self-taught 3D artist, born in Montreal and based in Vancouver. He turned to digital renders after a cycling injury left him without feeling on the left side of his body, and he learned 3D software during breaks from a restaurant job. The name comes from an old laptop that could take up to an hour to render a single frame. By 2023 he had made close to 3,000 renders, one a day for eight years.

His pictures are glossy and futuristic: chrome bodies and hands, crystals, snakes and flowers lit in hard, colored light. He has described the work as a diary of his struggle with anxiety and depression. After years of commercial work he moved to NFTs, starting on SuperRare and Nifty Gateway. In June 2021 Sotheby's sold his video *SHIFT//* in Natively Digital, a curated NFT sale, and in July Christie's sold *INTUITION//* online. He also released *FVCK_CRYSTAL//*, 4,169 generated stones whose holders help shape LVCIDIA, his metaverse project. His renders from 2015 to 2017 are collected in [FVCKRENDER ARCHIVE//](https://www.gondi.xyz/collections/fvckrender-archive.md).

He has worked with Dior, Swarovski and LeBron James, and made visuals for a Lil Nas X album. In August 2023 his first solo show outside Canada, *Catch the Light*, filled a three-storey wall of LED screens on Oxford Street in London for a month, set to a soundtrack by the composer The Holy.
