On Dean West’s Art Piece ‘Fabricate One’
“Dean West has a perfect photography, impeccable in terms of composition and technique. A dream imaginary made with exemplar precision, I would say maniacal; not an element out of place, not an object in excess, a scenic set clear and essential. The pose is statuesque, but at the same time dynamic of the main subject, glacial and expressionless, it possesses a magnetism that captures and destabilizes the eye. The objective reality finally loses ground in benefit of a complete redrafting of the represented events, in fact, it’s not at all clear what is happening, what interests is a full emotional involvement in this suspended but clear atmosphere, that arouses contrasting feelings among the wonder and amazement”President of the Jury: Alessandro Trabucco (art critic)
