Supremon 151: Artist 8TH PROJECT’s Abstract Masterpiece Sells Out on Ethereum, Blending Nostalgia with Suprematist Innovation

In a notable development for the web3 art scene, the Supremon 151 NFT collection by French-Mexican artist 8TH PROJECT has completely minted out, marking a swift success for a project that reinterprets the iconic original 151 Pokémon through the lens of suprematism.

Launched on OpenSea in May 2025, the 151-piece collection of one-of-one digital artworks was offered at a reduced mint price of 0.019 ETH each. Collectors responded enthusiastically, with the entire set selling out almost immediately. The floor price quickly surged, reaching peaks above 1 ETH and stabilizing around 0.6 ETH shortly after launch—representing over 30x returns from the initial mint for early buyers.

Supremon 151 draws inspiration from Kazimir Malevich’s suprematist movement, an early 20th-century Russian avant-garde style emphasizing basic geometric forms, limited color palettes, and pure feeling over realistic representation. Here, beloved characters like Pikachu, Charizard, and Bulbasaur are transformed into dynamic compositions of shapes, lines, and bold hues that capture the “soul” of each creature rather than literal depictions.

“Supremon trainer” 8TH PROJECT, known for his abstract interpretations of pop culture, described the project as a bridge between childhood nostalgia and high-art abstraction. The collection’s rapid sell-out reflects growing collector interest in thoughtful, artist-driven NFT art that transcends simple profile pictures.

As of recent trading data, the collection has recorded significant secondary market volume, with individual pieces changing hands for premiums that underscore its cultural resonance. In a maturing web3 landscape where quality and originality increasingly matter, Supremon 151 stands out as a compelling example of how blockchain can elevate digital creativity.

Industry observers note that such projects highlight the evolution of NFT art beyond hype cycles, rewarding creators who fuse familiar icons with innovative techniques. For collectors and art enthusiasts alike, Supremon 151 offers not just ownership of unique digital assets, but a fresh perspective on gaming heritage through the timeless principles of abstract art.

The collection remains viewable and tradable on OpenSea, where its geometric elegance continues to attract attention in the Ethereum NFT ecosystem.
