Digital art is a rather difficult medium to define. NFTs are easy to label but other objects—such as prints of images created with digital tools or Koonsian figurines, which often necessitate 3D rendering processes —often defy categorization.
Even so, more and more artists are beginning to label themselves as digital creatives and their work, if not themselves, as digital art. Many of the most prolific and thoughtful digital artists have backgrounds in industries outside of the fine art world such as animation or advertisement. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, they tend to be much more visible on social media than a great deal of fine artists. Here are seven digital artists you should be following on Instagram.
