Leopoldo D'Angelo[1] (born 11 July 1995 in Turin, Italy), better known by the pseudonym "Dangiuz" (pronounced as /it/) is an Italian contemporary visual artist, digital artist[2] and art director specializing in sci-fi themes.[3] His work has been featured in art networks, books, TV channels and magazines such as RAI,[4] Arte,[5] [6] Wallpaper*,[7] NVIDIA Studio Standouts,[8] Juxtapoz Magazine,[9] Sohu,[10] Pixiv[11] and Digital Production,[12] and showcased in various museums and galleries worldwide. He also took part in the creation of Rui Hachimura's Cherry Blossom kimono design[13] and Maserati's MC20 concept art.[14]

Style and career

Described as "Romantic Cyberpunk", his work, artistic style and concepts fall under the Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk categories,[15] [16] and his figure is often linked to digital art,[17] 3D design, Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk genres in cinema[18] [19] and NFTs,[20] [21] sometimes in controversial terms.[22] [23] His art is produced with 3D computer graphics software and depicts dystopian scenarios with references and hints to Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, from which the artist stated he draws inspiration.[24] [25] He mentions Vincent van Gogh as his all-time favorite painter, while Syd Mead and Beeple are the contemporary artists that influence him the most.[26]

NFTs

In February 2021, "Grand Challenge", one of D'Angelo's artworks, was one of the first fully digital artworks sold as a non-fungible token by an Italian digital artist.[27] In March 2021, upon digital art and NFTs gaining popularity due to Beeple's sale, D'Angelo rose to prominence together with other digital artists,[28] establishing himself in the following months as one of the most prolific digital artists selling single edition artworks (1/1s) as NFTs on the premium digital art platform SuperRare, along with other popular digital artists such as XCOPY and Pak.[29] In June 2022 he took part in a charity auction at Christie's, with all the proceeds being donated to MAPS. The NFT of his artwork "Enchanter" was auctioned and sold, realizing a price of $44,100,[30] making it the 10th most expensive NFT digital artwork of 2022 sold at a great auction house.[31] In January 2023 Dangiuz stood out for releasing "A Breath of Fresh Air", an Open Edition NFT artwork that was collected 9152 times, making it the fourth highest grossing Open Edition ever and the second highest of 2023. Between December 2023 and January 2024 his artworks "La Siesta" and "Carnival Plaza", previously owned by 3AC, were auctioned at Sotheby's and sold: the former for an undisclosed amount, the latter for $21,540.[32] [33]
