Alejandro Javaloyas' Nightmare-Inspired AI Art at Galeria Reus

exhibition · 2026-06-10

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.
