Aurelien Juner, a young artist and designer from Bordeaux now based in Barcelona, seamlessly blends diverse artistic disciplines in his exploration of order and disorder, as well as the interplay between image and graphics. His series Surface offers a compelling reflection on the influence of fashion magazines on the dissemination of imagery and how these images interact with and shape our perception of reality.

Surface examines the fictional and idealized world curated by magazines and juxtaposes it against the real world where these images are constructed. Juner’s creative process begins with a magazine cover placed against a stark white background, serving as a blank canvas for his interventions. Drawing inspiration from the original cover, he transforms it into a completely new piece that challenges its original intent and meaning.
