About CL7:

Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Bonhams auction houses are personally leading global marketplaces for NFTs (physical and digital art/NFT artworks). Bridging the physical world with the digital, the legendary CL7 – a private and secret art dealer in the physical world – has spent the past few years developing his vision for digital art work by investing in strong communities of NFTs (prioritizing utilities, certifications and holograms on the blockchain with the metaverse world). He is using stewardship of his collection of 5,000 NFTs on Nifty Gateway (Pak, Bipple, Trevor Jones and many other top valuers), becoming a big investor.

In space development (universe), with the ultimate goal of protecting and preserving the human species.

Decoration:

Specialist in French/Italian architectural antiquities, medieval period (8th-12th century) to 17th-18th-19th century (Gothic, Renaissance, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Regency, Louis XVI original/authentic period) including modern art ( Art Nouveau and Art Deco from the city of Nancy, Lorraine, East of France, Switzerland country corner). Financial banking systems include 1st and 2nd markets to develop value security.

Studied at private (underground) schools: Louvre Museum and The Druitt-Richelieu (master museum and auction house) in Paris, France 2 decades ago.

CL7 grew up in an industrial business family in the countryside of France (Lorraine) with a focus on high end quality and mid-long-term investment and a dedication to rare, unique and excellent historical objects (museum quality, high long-term value). , and has been doing so for over 4 decades (lifetime) internationally.

Vision:

CL7 is a deep supporter of all humanity, respecting all mentalities, religions and beliefs, as long as they have a positive impact on all communities worldwide, working together with foundations and charities to support the development of a single human race.

His vision is to use art and NFT as a vehicle to build a better life for all, irrespective of creed, caste, status or creed. To that end, CL7 is very particular about what he buys, when he buys it, and from whom he buys it. Blockchain is forever, and so is the impact on sports, work, travel, knowledge, culture and education.

Movies:

CL7 is connecting with his digital and physical world by starring in a new exceptional movie based on crypto/blockchain/nfts (Mad Max style, new generation) called “The 9th Raider”, which he has been developing for the past few years. Private independent production in Los Angeles, CA.

CL7 has partnered with a private independent international production company to produce a documentary entitled “eNFTourage”, an NFT documentary focusing on CL7’s background – from his rural life in Eastern Europe to his rise as one of the greatest NFT collectors of our time – which will be presented at Art Basel Miami 2021. Being produced since

Museum:

CL7 is also busy building its own private museum in Lorraine, Switzerland, which is currently under renovation. The museum aims to bring authenticity to the NFT digital art world from its traditional art business and background. It will have 4 floors of traditional, physical artifacts and NFTs where physical and their NFT digital twins are displayed to prove.

Maximum reliability from physical to digital. The architecture and structure at the base of his museum dates all the way back to the medieval period, built on top of the rocks of his village of just 700 people. In fact, the real estate and lands surrounding the museum are part of the original large wild fort built over 1,000 years ago between 920-950 AD. There, CL7 will host very specific events for real collaborators, artists, investors and artistic philanthropists.

Curator (The Culmination):

The culmination of his life’s work, and the last few years of waiting for his work to be leveraged in the NFT space, has led to this moment. It’s time for CL7 to build his own branding to his true followers, give back, give back to his community and the world by being very careful about who his collaborators, real artists, investors and partners are. Projects with bigger, deeper life meaning and purpose.

In his own (uniquely French) words:

“I, CL7, how I come from nowhere (with all my respect for my people where I grew up, in the old school way, somehow taught me a strong deep life), always with the belief that we can, we are all here for something good. Do, no matter where we come from, no matter the circumstances of our personal lives we grew up in, bad and/or good, we all learn and we all go to the good part, we must make it the best we can.

Everything is possible, let’s do it. Let’s make it happen. Let us have deep faith within us to illuminate the power of all of us.

Pure good elasticity.

With wisdom, strength and beauty for all of us and our entire world.

To the great architect of the universe (together).

There will always be clouds in the sky, surely the sun, stars and galaxies are here for us. Let it happen!

So be it.”

About James Peter Henry:

An Australian artist, living in Los Angeles and New York City. His current artist residency is at the La Pierre Hotel in West Hollywood. The artist is heavily inspired by primitive and African art and cubism has consistently found its way into many pieces. Since landing in the United States, James Peter Henry has attracted much attention with his murals that dominate the skylines of major cities across the country.

Art, for him, is always about human form, other times it is a combination of patterns. He is always trying to portray a message within his art, as he has a deep spiritual connection that runs throughout his work.

“I was asked to do a large mural in Los Angeles honoring Kobe and Gigi, which would have been the largest of its kind. I wasn’t really feeling it though. As it was only 4 days after their death. It felt very raw at the time and I didn’t want to do it under pressure… as I wanted to give Kobe and Gigi the respect of being authentic to my style.

After 6 days I saw so many photos of Kobe and Gigi on social media that I just started drawing a face that started to turn into Kobe’s. I saw a similar cubism image pop up somewhere and was immediately led to continue painting and go with my spirit which led to an image of Jesus and Gigi.

Kobe is seen dunking a slam ball in the background. A reflection of his life sits on the canvas in front of the painting. His love for family/friends and the incredible accomplishments he accomplished while on this earth.

He has changed many people’s lives. Show them how to believe and how to hold on to your dreams and achieve them.

His love for God was also evident in the way he conducted his life.

In this painting Gigi is walking up the stairs to heaven… Kobe reaches out to Gigi saying ‘I’m coming and I’ve got you. And always have you.’

Jesus then crowned Kobe. ‘You’re with me, just like Gigi’

It is a celebration of his life and a celebration of the life he gave us.

A celebration of doing your best while on earth to encourage people to grow and achieve their purpose and fulfill why they came here.”

About Jeff Hamilton:

In the beginning

Born in Morocco, Jeff moved to Paris as a ten-year-old boy where he studied mathematics and physics before starting his career as a fashion designer. When he arrived in the United States, he quickly rose to the top of the fashion world as the founder and creative designer behind the first men’s line of Guess jeans. Soon after leaving Guess, he began designing leather jackets that were more than an article of clothing, but more like a piece of art. It began a journey spanning nearly four decades and counting to become one of the most iconic and recognizable jacket designers to celebrities, athletes and musicians around the world.

NBA Connection

Jeff’s career skyrocketed in the early 90s as he landed licensing deals with every major professional sports league. Most recognizable is the legendary NBA championship jacket that awaited Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls teammates in the locker room when they won 6 titles. It started a tradition that began with Tim Duncan and David Robinson with the Spurs, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, and later LeBron and Anthony David with the Lakers, just to name a few.
