荷西 Jose Conceptes  西班牙　b.1978

​

1978年出生於西班牙瓦倫西亞自治區的卡納羅斯，2001年畢業於巴塞隆納Joso藝術學校，曾多次在西班牙各地舉辦個展與聯展。Jose是一位概念攝影家。他獨特的攝影視角，引領觀眾進入全新的視覺體驗。

 

他的作品清新灑脫，以建築與城市結構為作品中最大的主軸，但讓他著迷的，並非建築結構本身，而是那些強而有力的稜角，陰影、光線對比所造成的黑與白之間的表現形式，在他縝密構圖，別緻取景後所呈現出來的新樣貌。乾淨利落的線條是他作品最大的特色，藝術家透過他獨特的語彙，重新詮釋這個世界的角落。

Jose Conceptes was born in Vinaròs (Valencia), Spain in 1978 and trained at the Jose Visual Arts school in Barcelona during 1997-2001. He is now a conceptual photographer and creative graphic designer.

 

Jose is interested in what can be seen, what can’t be seen, and in those things that pass unnoticed by the human eye. He discovers new forms in the human eye, new forms in the banal. The artist plays with volume, shade and textures, from imprints of the landscape or creations of man. The camera is a tool to capture the dialogue that exists between objects and shadows, expressing an individual vision and physical paces. The photos fuse the past with the present and future offering indefinite pieces of work, without chronologic order, and which lend themselves to different interpretations. Each photo allows the viewer to extend imagination and form a personal reflection of the work.

 

Architecture and urban landscapes dominate his works. But it’s not the structures themselves that take preference, rather the powerful angles and shadows, and use of light that prevail in these black and white formats. These are highly studied compositions, where noting is random, except for the subjective opinion of the viewer. The artist strives that his photos possess simplicity, clean lines and stillness, characteristics eternally inherent in urban structures. His snapshots are a worldapart from their real life concrete representations. Independent of the actual structure, the artist try to capture his own interpretation, which in turn helps him form a collection of visual architectural pieces that are timeless.
