Rafaël Rozendaal

For all of you who don't know this artist, please check out his websites.

He is selling his work as online art only, that is the only way it exists. I Thought this was great fun and you can connect to lots of his other works as well.



Rhizome his gallery will present recent works by Rozendaal at the VIP Art Fair, all unique websites, each one an animation representative of the artist’s exploration of the browser as a limitless pictorial space. Colorful, minimal and redolent with feeling, the exhibited works range from figurative, such as Hot Doom. com’s depiction of a volcanic explosion, to abstract, as seen in Into time where you have to click your mouse to change the composition. Rozendaal’s formal aesthetic—his tendency to render commodities, like popcorn, or familiar scenes, like sunsets–recalls Pop art’s interest in the mass market and kitsch. Yet, in these works, each image has been pared down, stripped of idiosyncrasies related to place or time, and transported into a visual language of computer graphics and figuration–a language the artist suggests is more ‘universal’ today.
