Laurence Fuller is an actor, poet and digital artist whose work combines poetry, performance and visual art into what he calls “Poetic Cinematic Fine Art”.He trained as a classical actor at the Bristol Old Vic and has taken lead film roles, including playing the painter David Hockney in HBO Max's Minx.,
Raised by a painter mother and the art critic and Modern Painters founder Peter Fuller, he turned more fully to writing during the COVID-19 pandemic.,In that period he wrote the novella The Fortune and a screenplay dedicated to his father, Modern Art, which won eight awards on the screenwriting competition circuit.
In March 2021 he minted his first artwork, Miridescent Thought, a collaboration with Sima Jo released on OpenSea as part of the Elysium Verto Collection and described as one of the first pairings of painting and spoken-word poetry on the blockchain.He was among the early artists on Hic Et Nunc on Tezos.His work in figurative portraiture includes Reflections of Ours, made with the actor Vincent D'Onofrio and released on objkt.com in January 2023 as part of a Fakewhale Cross drop, following an earlier collaboration between the two, Flood Of The Soul.
Following an invitation from the Kamp Kilmer community, he adapted the actor and poet Val Kilmer's poems into cinematic poetry pieces, continuing a practice he had already used with poems by his father and the Romantics. The Kilmer collaboration Bird Poetry, made with Tania Rivilis, was minted on Tezos and entered the Tezos Foundation Permanent Collection, acquired by Misan Herriman. A second Kilmer piece, Shamrock Clock, was made with goldcat.In 2023 he presented the interactive AI-and-poetry work Sparrow (cinematic cut) on the main stage of the Non Fungible Conference in Lisbon.
