The artist recently opened a new gallery\/studio where he is producing and selling physical artworks. Franky has always been fascinated with combining physical and digital art concepts, making this project a unique one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blockchain technology, as a decentralized, distributed, and public, digital ledger, is used to record transactions across many computers so that any involved record cannot be altered retroactively. Blockchain is a secured platform and Franky is on a mission to place <em>Certificates of Authenticity <\/em>of his artworks on the blockchain by partnering with KnownOrigin. By this, Franky will be able to sell his physical artworks and send a <em>Certificate of Authentication<\/em>, which acts as a <em>Certificate of Ownership, <\/em>via blockchain to buyers. Making the provenance, authenticity, and proof of ownership indisputable. Transferring ownership of the physical piece along with the <em>Certificate of Authentication<\/em> will ensure the chain-of-custody for the collector and any future owners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/uploads\/1289f811ff12298a99cadf4f121bb21f.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Franky is also pleased to announce his event that will be coming up in March 2020 in his Gallery at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.9thgalleryarts.com\/\">www.9thgalleryarts.com<\/a>.
