Kiki Picasso Live Painting on the Paintbox
Join us for an exclusive live digital painting session & cocktail reception with Kiki Picasso at NFT Paris (NFT Paris ticket required for entry).
The Paintboxed - Tezos World Tour continues with a rare performance by Kiki Picasso, a pioneer in digital art and one of the first artists to experiment with the Quantel Paintbox. For the first time in nearly 50 years, we reunite the Parisian founders and artists of CVF—France’s 1983 Digital Villa Medici.
The Paintbox Revolution
Introduced in 1981, the Quantel Paintbox was one of the first high-resolution digital painting systems. Preceding Photoshop by nearly a decade, it transformed TV graphics, music videos, and digital illustration. Used by major broadcasters and legendary artists like Keith Haring and David Hockney, it shaped the visual identity of the 1980s.
Kiki Picasso & Digital Art
A founding member of Bazooka, Kiki Picasso was among the first to use the Paintbox as an artistic tool, creating animated sequences for television, album covers, and video art. In 1985, he was featured in 6 Peintres sur Ordinateur, showcasing his groundbreaking digital experiments.
