Arno Carstens is an accomplished and prolific South African artist whose impressive body of work reflects his unwavering dedication to the arts. He has explored a diverse range of mediums, including music, where he has achieved multi-platinum sales and numerous awards as the frontman of the Springbok Nude Girls and as a solo artist, with a series of chart-topping singles to his name.
In addition to his music career, Arno Carstens is also a versatile fine artist who has experimented with a variety of techniques such as collages, charcoal, and acrylic. However, his mastery of oils on canvas is what truly sets him apart. In 2012, he debuted his first solo exhibition at the Lovell Gallery in Woodstock, Cape Town.
Arno's fascination with the darker aspects of human existence is evident in his art, which often incorporates a blend of humour and cynicism as a source of inspiration. His work seamlessly blends expressionism and surrealism, resulting in pieces that skillfully balance storytelling, emotional depth, and the use of colour to achieve an exquisite visual appeal. Arno's aim is to create an optimal balance between the positive and negative, eliciting a natural state of arousal and a sense of visual richness. His art is a testament to his passion and dedication to exploring the depths of human experience through his unique and insightful lens.

Arno Carstens | Psychedelic Night Out NFT 1/1 GIF
"With each altercated frame, I’ve tried to capture the bridge between controlled madness and euphoric spiritual surrender” says Carstens.
The 25 frames of the 1/1 GIF are hand drawn digital modifications of the original oil on canvas. Each frame was painstakingly recreated, by hand, over a 2 month period, bringing the oil to life, in a chaotic animated dance.
New Release : Arno Carstens - Broken (Live)
"Some songs only arrive at their destination or form, long after they have already been recorded and during the journey of being performed live. Broken is one of those songs. The power of the band gives the song a new energy and feel and it's my pleasure to share this take with you" says Arno Carstens of his genesis music mint.
The NFT comes with its own collage artwork, created by Arno in celebration of and uniquely for, this single and its release with Gamma.
