Lorenzo Masnah is a contemporary fine artist born in Bogotá, Colombia. His work reconstructs memory and cultural narratives by repurposing media, drawing parallels to the Silk Road's trade of ideas and artifacts. His acclaimed Nuevos Tiempos book series (2010, 2011, 2018) transforms newspapers into visual critiques, with the first volume debuting alongside his solo exhibition in Bogotá (2010). In 2013, his work was featured in Third World Pages at Fuse Gallery, earning recognition from Carlo McCormick in Paper Magazine. Masnah's practice extends globally, including his inclusion in the Imago Mundi Collection with the piece "Five Zero". In a conceptual leap, Masnah created a landmark mural in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, a known crypto-hipster hotspot. This project was innovatively funded by selling digital bricks on the Ethereum blockchain, with each NFT representing ownership of a segment of the mural. This approach not only financed the artwork but also engaged the community in its creation, reflecting the ethos of the internet PFP subculture and bridging the physical and digital realms in storytelling.
