Rafaël Rozendaal

Dutch artist Rafaël Rozendaal refers to the computer as a space, a world, a landscape. He describes the virtual window of a browser being richer than a window in the real world. Working with transient and disposable media reminiscent of Warhol’s consumable art practice Rozendaal seeks inspiration from art movements of the past such as Surrealism and Pop deriving images and flat colour from retro comic books from the 60s and 70s.

Rozendaal lives and works between Amsterdam, Berlin and Tokyo. He has had solo exhibitions at Sketch, London 2005 and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 2006. Group shows include, The Whitney Biennial 2002, NYC, Neen Demo, Benaki Museum, Athens 2006, and Existential Computing, 2007 at The Hayward Gallery, London. Last year he was awarded a ‘Rhizome commission’ for ‘New Museum’, NYC.
