Motril (1982) Granada - España.

"It´s easy to get lost in Javier Arrés´ work, and that´s exactly the point. His hyper-detailed ink drawings of fantastical cities and machinery and equally hypnotizing animated gifs he´s termed "Visual Toys" invite us to expand our imaginations.

Javier has always been interested in industrial landscapes, recalling models of miniature cities and the classic SimCity games as some of his earliest influences.

His intricate work has since garnered him the attention of clients including the NFL and The New York Times, as well as numerous awards, most recently winning first prize in the "Work on Paper" category at the 2019 London Art Biennale."
