About this artwork
This is Delizy's photographic print of Gezicht op Pointe du Raz. It's an image that really makes you think about how we see and what we choose to focus on. The rocks are rough, almost chaotic, in the way they pile up. But then, your eye drifts out to the water, and there's this little sailboat way off in the distance. It's like Delizy is playing with our sense of scale, pushing and pulling us between the immediate and the infinite. There's this tension between the solidity of the rocks, their almost brown-grey permanence, and the ephemeral nature of the sea and sky. I am reminded of Gustave Le Gray's seascapes, who also captured the ocean in an incredible way. Art is like an ongoing conversation, isn't it?
