Earth Angel is a 3D image of a celestial being reclining in the earths forests. Her body is outstretched in the same manner as Leonardo DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man, suggesting a correlation to human’s proportions and natures sacred geometry. The angel’s movements have disrupted the forest, causing trees to be removed in the shape of angels wings. The figure lays supine in repose, being at one with the earth and experiencing nature’s divine serenity.
Chad Knight is a 3D Instagram artist whose work has gone viral, starting a pervasive internet rumor that his art was a real-life place in Japan. He recently sold a record-breaking 400K worth of art on the NFT platform Nifty Gateway.
Knight is more than just a freelance artist, he is the Head of 3D Design at Nike and not so long ago retired from an exciting career as a professional skateboarder that ran from 1998–2011. His work has been featured in Elle Decor, Vogue Italia, Vice, Bored Panda and many more international publications. He recently debuted his first art collection in the Hamptons.
Knight’s vibrant digital art moves between the meditative and the frenetic. The artist’s personal work seems to exist in alien worlds, with his works being made in Cinema 4D. These are places inhabited by enormous elaborate beings that appear in mid-evolution. The artist posts a new creation each day on his Instagram account as part of an ongoing, prolific effort.
