Fellowship presents Rooms (2024), a solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed artist Rafaël Rozendaal, on view September 4th at the gallery’s converted chapel in Notting Hill. The exhibition features forty-four fully on-chain, 1/1 NFT works—the only unreleased pieces from Rozendaal’s celebrated MoMA show Light (Nov 2024 – Sep 2025). By premiering these works in London, Fellowship furthers Rozendaal’s exploration of digital abstraction, translating code into shifting plays of depth, shape, and motion.
Rozendaal’s language is platform-independent, his works conceived as instructions rather than fixed objects. Responsive to any resolution or format, they adapt seamlessly across devices. In Rooms, lines at varying speeds create perspective and space, suspended between flatness and immersion. On wide screens, they expand into landscapes; on phones, they suggest vertical movement. This tension between abstraction and implied environment lies at the heart of his practice.
For Rozendaal, the screen functions as a contemporary canvas: “I use the screen the way a painter uses a canvas to paint a landscape. Much of my thinking responds to painting and abstraction, especially modernism, so showing my work at MoMA was a natural extension of that history.” Rooms extends this dialogue, reframing painting through code and motion.
Developed with Reinier Feijen and stored immutably on the Ethereum blockchain, Rooms combines durability with responsiveness. Licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, the works remain true to the artist’s intent while being experienced across formats.
