JAVIER GALERA
ABOUT
Javier Galera is a London-based artist specialising in urban photography. Expanding beyond traditional photography, he navigates various media—including collage, sculpture, installation, printing, and zine-making—to push the medium beyond its original negative film form.
His work captures communities and their relationship to their surroundings, drawing inspiration from ideologies of freedom, resistance, and punk iconography. Through his lens, Javier documents everyday life with a raw, unfiltered perspective, exploring the social fabric that shapes urban environments.
Aquascaping is an exhibition by Javier Galera (powered by Katharsis 83) that documents how people use and inhabit public water spaces — with a focus on Shadwell Basin in East London. Drawing from his upbringing in Ibiza and a lifelong connection to nature, Galera refers to these sites as reefs — informal environments where human presence and aquatic landscapes intersect. These reefs happen in various places, in this instance, an urban setting. For many, these moments reflect a kind of everyday catharsis — a way to disconnect, reset, and reclaim public space.
Limited collection of 16 unique artworks.
