Alejandro Javaloyas' Nightmare-Inspired AI Art at Galeria Reus
Spanish artist Alejandro Javaloyas showcases 'Un cuchillo que no corta' ('The Knife That Doesn't Cut') at Galeria Reus in Palma, Spain, until August 31. This exhibition features a collection of new, small, and eerie pieces inspired by the artist's frequent nightmares. For years, Javaloyas has maintained a bedside notebook to document his dreams. He employs artificial intelligence to create visual interpretations from his notes, choosing a select few images from numerous iterations. These are then digitally enhanced and printed as giclée prints on cotton paper, which he layers. This exhibition is part of a monthly series highlighting five outstanding shows at emerging galleries, curated by Artsy Editorial. The other exhibitions are not specified but emphasize new talent and intimate spaces.
