Intel and renowned artist [DEFER](https://www.instagram.com/deferk2s/?hl=en) have partnered with NTWRK, North America’s premiere livestream shopping platform, for an exclusive drop of three hand-painted Intel® Evo™ Devices and a one of a kind art print. Showcasing his street-focused and graffiti inspired work, DEFER used the Intel Evo logo, color palette and ethos: evolution, uncompromising, and premium as inspirations for his designs. The artist discovered new ways of being creative as a visual artist using the Intel Evo platform’s powerhouse combination of performance, responsiveness, battery life and stunning visuals.
The items will go up for sale during an episode set to air during NTWRK’s BEYOND THE STREETS 2021, a virtual art fair celebrating graffiti, street art, and more—and now in its 2nd year. The episode will be shot from DEFER's studio where he will take the NTWRK audience on a tour of his art studio and discuss his creative process for creating his works of art. DEFER will hand-paint the three Intel Evo Devices on the spot as viewers watch.
“Partnering with Intel EVO to create one of a kind works of art is an exhilarating experience,” said DEFER. “On a personal level it is a groundbreaking journey to merge my free flowing traditional use of the brush and paint and bring it into the technological forefront. We are creating a new gateway for artists and creatives alike to express themselves both presently and in the future”
Intel partnered with NTWRK to help them identify a cultural creative who had a unique and individualistic approach to their art while also maintaining a premium look and feel. DEFER, who came highly recommended from BEYOND THE STREETS festival curator, Roger Gastman, is an inspirational artist who creates hand-crafted artwork through the form of painting. Marrying DEFER’s signature hand painting style with the advanced technology of the Intel Evo platform highlights the growing trend of digital visual art.
