Description

An insipid notion (The astonished world) is a collection of unreal experiences caused by the feeling of late and inexperienced love, and the inability to fully know the experience of love open to the world, public, without shame. "The lover is then separated from the world,  he un realizes it because he fantasizes, on the other hand, the adventures or utopias of his love; he surrenders to the Image, in relation to which everything disturbs him" (Lacan)

Javier Rey  photographs explores the physical structure and the possibilities of sculpture through photography.

From The World Thunderstruck Series. Edition of 5 + 2AP. More Editions & Sizes: Large: 99 cm H x 110 cm W. Edition of 3 + 1AP

This artwork captures a mesmerizing underwater scene where light dances upon the surface, creating a distorted yet enchanting image of a person submerged in crystalline water. The interplay of light and water forms dynamic ripples, casting soft reflections and blurring the figure's features. The palette, dominated by pale blues and skin tones, lends a serene and ethereal quality to the piece. The artist skillfully manipulates perspective and refraction, drawing the viewer into an intimate, almost dreamlike moment. The fluidity and motion are palpable, as the gently swirling water suggests a sense of calm and tranquility. This work stands out for its immersive realism and the delicate interplay between motion and stillness, capturing a fleeting moment of peace beneath the water's surface.
