Noema by Pawel Dudko in Partnership with Suburbs Gallery ✨
We’re excited to announce that auctions for Noema by Pawel Dudko will open on Wednesday, 3 November, running for 48 hours.
This drop is presented in partnership with Suburbs Gallery and Gamma, a collaboration now renewed for a second time. The team at Suburbs Gallery is looking forward to Pawel’s upcoming exhibition and to continuing our work together into the new year. At Gamma, it’s a pleasure to bring Ordinals to the Suburbs once again.
About Noema
Noema reflects on the essence of perception, how the world is processed and reformed within the mind. The term comes from the Greek noēma, meaning “thought,” “concept,” or “that which is thought.” In Husserl’s phenomenology, the noema is the intentional content of consciousness: not the external object, but the lived version carried within.
The series explores the space between structure and experience. What is seen merges with what is imagined, as though each image is not a fixed form but a trace of consciousness. In every constellation of light, there is both matter and gesture and the imprint of how the mind encounters the world.
The works evoke remnants and reflections of the past, shaped by undefined feelings. They can be perceived as visualizations of neural sparks, where subconscious associations emerge, imprecise yet emotionally charged. These may be personal memories, impressions, or fleeting sensations, but they can also expand into the universal, recalling half-remembered masterpieces, pop-cultural echoes, or cosmic visions.
Noema ultimately speaks to what arises in lived experience, the pure sense existing between a thing and its perception. It is a visual meditation where the experiences of the viewer, the artist, and the digital image braid into a single thread: between the encounter, the image, and the thought that binds them.
Auctions open Wednesday. More details to follow.
What Remains With You by Zoe Louise 🌹
We’re proud to work with Zoe Louise for her third release on Gamma. What Remains With You is an intimate series of 16 works, each inscribed with parent and child provenance and fully on-chain metadata.
The collection explores the quiet heroism of choosing not to pass pain onward. It reflects on legacy as a form of subtraction, honouring those who have spent a lifetime absorbing hardship to create space for the next generation.
Each work exists as both a digital inscription and a physical A4 original. The physical artwork will be delivered to the first collector of each inscription, with shipping included in the sale price. Listings will go live as buy-now offerings in the middle of next week.
Zoe Louise’s work reflects on the invisible labour of inheritance. The inscriptions present a polished, shareable version of legacy, what the world sees and can admire from a distance. But the collectors who receive the accompanying physical artwork encounter something more intimate. They hold the emptied page, the material trace of what has been absorbed and left behind. It is a record of absence and transformation, capturing the marks and weight of experience that remain after the bloom has passed.
In this way, What Remains With You becomes a meditation on the subtle, often unseen ways that care and sacrifice ripple through generations. The collection invites viewers and collectors alike to reflect on what is given, what is withheld, and the quiet inheritance of enduring presence.
What Remains With You goes live next week. More details soon.
Cheers by Yuzapata 🥂
Colombian graphic designer and artist Yuzapata is presents a new Ordinals release, Cheers, a playful and interactive collection, (shoutout to his friend and fellow Gamma Partner Artist Buitrago for his code contribution).
Yuzapata’s work draws from the vibrancy of everyday life, channeling the energy of the streets through his signature character, Palometa the Pigeon. Each piece celebrates the joy and chaos of urban life, infused with the color, movement, and spirit of Colombian and Latin American culture.
Cheers is an interactive ordinal collection where Palometa evolves throughout the day, reflecting the passage of time. The series is an artistic meditation on the small luminous moments that unfold around shared drinks, capturing the ritual of connection, celebration, and togetherness.
The collection will be presented in Miami during Art Basel week, bringing Yuzapata’s signature Caribbean happiness to a global audience on the blockchain.
Partner of the Week 👩🎨
Meet Fereshteh Farmand, whose artistic life began long before she ever considered herself part of the digital world. A painter and illustrator with nearly thirty years of experience, she started creating art as a child, letting emotion, curiosity, and an evolving inner language shape her path. For Fereshteh, art has always been the way she understands the world, a space where feelings and questions take form before they ever become words. Her transition into digital art happened naturally. For many years she worked primarily with traditional mediums like acrylic, oil, and mixed media, while her illustration work required her to prepare book illustrations digitally. That blend of hand-drawn and digital techniques slowly moved her practice into digital formats long before she entered Web3. Eventually, her involvement in the NFT space began around four years ago, supported by the One Love Art DAO. Through one of their open calls, a Gamma drop titled Visible Violets, she experienced her first Bitcoin ordinal release. Stepping into this new environment felt like a natural extension of her journey, especially with such a thoughtful, supportive community around her. “So far, the experience has been inspiring,” she says. “For me, releasing work on Bitcoin is simply a new chapter in my artistic journey; another way to share my vision with the world.”
