Set Entrelazar, 2020

Javier Rey   Emerging artists

 "The series, Entrelazar, is based on the selection of an urban element, the lamppost: a vertical element that rises above the urban landscape and is repeated in the city of Bogotá. The artist carries out the study where he allows the object to display its parts and generate a tangle of lines, knots, and even points that accumulate in layers to create a new landscape system.”

This artwork presents a striking visual exploration of urban complexity through a series of interconnected utility poles. Each segment captures a tangle of electrical wires against vivid backdrops—blue, red, and yellow—creating a dynamic interplay of chaos and color. The intricacies of the wires, twisted and looped, highlight the meticulous yet disorderly nature of modern infrastructure. The precise geometry of the poles contrasts with the organic, tangled lines, evoking a sense of organized chaos. The vibrant backgrounds serve to accentuate the stark monochrome of the wires, enhancing their visual impact. This juxtaposition invites viewers to reflect on the balance between human innovation and disorder. The artwork’s composition compellingly captures the essence of urban life, symbolizing connectivity and complexity within the cityscape.
