New to the Gallery: Fresh Works from Clic’s Featured Photographers

Clic has always been more than just a store—it began as an art gallery, and our passion for curation remains at the heart of everything we do. We seek out photographers who tell compelling stories through their images, capturing fleeting moments, raw emotions, and tangible nostalgia.

 

This season, we are thrilled to showcase new works from three remarkable photographers: Alex Moore, Blaise Hayward, and Julien Roubinet. Each brings a distinct perspective—whether through vast landscapes, intimate objects, or artifacts of music history. Their latest collections invite viewers to step into different worlds: the golden shores of Ipanema, the vast quiet of Joshua Tree, the electric energy of a sold-out concert, or the analog warmth of a well-worn cassette tape. These are more than photographs; they are portals to memory, sound, and space.

 

Alex Moore’s photography is an exploration of time, space, and emotion. His images often evoke a sense of stillness—capturing places that seem frozen between past and present. With a background in fine art and an eye for cinematic compositions, Moore’s work turns landscapes into meditative experiences, where color and texture play as important a role as the subject itself. His newest works bring this signature style to new, striking locations.

 

Ipanema is more than just a beach—it’s a state of mind. In this piece, Moore captures the timeless energy of Rio de Janeiro’s most famous coastline. The sun casts long shadows over golden sand, waves curl softly onto the shore, and silhouettes of beachgoers add to the atmosphere of effortless leisure. The composition reflects Ipanema’s duality: vibrant yet tranquil, modern yet deeply tied to its history.

 

Alex Moore’s photograph is a striking exploration of surrealism and human form. In ‘Land Before Time’ the black-and-white composition features the curve of a nude body, resembling a rolling landscape, upon which miniature figurines—toy dinosaurs and other animals—traverse its peaks and valleys. This playful juxtaposition transforms the body into an expansive terrain, challenging perceptions of scale and perspective. The stark contrast between the smooth, organic surface and the tiny, detailed figures adds a dreamlike quality, evoking themes of discovery, intimacy, and the vastness of the human form. Moore’s work blurs the line between the body as an object of art and a landscape of imagination.

 

‘Perspective’ captures a striking harmony between the human body and the natural world, blending surrealism with raw, organic beauty. A lone nude figure performs a handstand amidst an overgrown field, their form almost disappearing into the lush greenery. The surrounding wilderness, with its goldenrod blooms and the distant rolling hills, creates a serene yet untamed atmosphere. The placement of the body within the vast landscape suggests themes of freedom, vulnerability, and the primal connection between humanity and nature. The contrast between the controlled movement of the figure and the wild, unrestrained growth of the flora adds to the dreamlike, almost mythical quality of the image.

 

‘Priorities’ exudes a sense of effortless cool and nonchalance. A partially submerged figure floats in a pool, their body distorted by the rippling water, while one hand remains above the surface, holding a cigarette. The scene is framed by an elegant garden, with manicured hedges and stone steps leading to a hidden path, adding a touch of old-world sophistication. The contrast between the relaxed pose and the bold gesture—lifting a cigarette above the water as if it were a lifeline—creates a striking visual tension. The image feels cinematic, evoking themes of leisure, rebellion, and a carefree attitude toward time and responsibility.

 

His final piece ‘Joshua Tree’ is one of the few places in the world that are considered otherworldly. The stark desert landscape, punctuated by its namesake trees, feels like something out of a dream. Moore captures this in all its surreal beauty, the sharp silhouettes of the tree. The result is a deeply atmospheric work that embodies both solitude and wonder.

 

Moreover, Blaise Hayward has a gift for elevating the everyday. His Tickets Please collection transforms something as simple as a concert ticket into a deeply nostalgic artifact. These are not just pieces of paper; they are tangible memories—proof of being there, of witnessing something legendary.

 

In his latest additions to the series, Hayward turns his lens to some of the most iconic concerts in history:

 

The mere mention of Led Zeppelin conjures images of electrifying guitar solos, Robert Plant’s soaring vocals, and a band that defined rock music. This ticket stub, worn and slightly faded, is a relic from one of their legendary shows. The creases and ink smudges tell a story: of someone gripping it tightly as the lights dimmed, of a night that would never be forgotten.

 

Few artists have shaped music and culture the way Bob Dylan has. Hayward’s capture of this ticket stub from one of Dylan’s concerts is a piece of history—an artifact of a moment when words, melody, and revolution collided. The design of the ticket itself, simple yet bold, reflects an era when music was a force of change.

 

Moving into the more contemporary, Coldplay’s ticket stub carries its own form of nostalgia. For many, their music defines personal eras—songs tied to moments of love, loss, and transformation. The clean, modern typography on the ticket is a contrast to the more vintage designs, emphasizing how concert-going has evolved while remaining an essential experience.

 

Each of these stubs tells a different story: The Ramones’ raw, rebellious punk energy; Supertramp’s sophisticated blend of rock and pop; Woodstock—the festival that changed music history forever. Together, they create a collage of sound and memory, reminding us of the power of live performance and the thrill of holding onto a small piece of it.

 

Keeping in the music theme, Julien Roubinet’s Cassettes series is a love letter to music’s physical past. In an era dominated by digital streaming, these photographs remind us of the intimacy of holding an album in your hands—of pressing play, rewinding, and flipping to Side B. Roubinet’s meticulous attention to detail captures the tactile beauty of cassette tapes, each worn, labeled, and loved in its own way.

 

His latest works bring some of music’s greatest albums into focus:

 

Hotel California – The Eagle, this cassette is an icon in itself. The Eagles’ Hotel California is one of the most enduring rock albums, and seeing it in this form immediately transports us to a different time. The warm beige tones of the cassette, the slightly faded label, the unmistakable typeface—all elements that tell a story of repeated plays and late-night listening sessions.

 

Unplugged in New York – Nirvana, is a stark contrast to the high-energy sound of Nirvana’s earlier albums, it is haunting and raw. The cassette, captured in Roubinet’s signature crisp composition, feels like an artifact—something delicate, fragile, and deeply personal.

 

Goat’s Head Soup – The Rolling Stones one of the Stones’ most underrated yet beautifully moody albums, Goat’s Head Soup carries a unique aura. Roubinet’s photograph makes the cassette look almost like a relic from another time, its scuffed edges speaking to years of devotion from its owner.

 

Rubber Soul – The Beatles a turning point in The Beatles’ career, Rubber Soul marked their evolution from pop sensations to experimental artists. Seeing it as a cassette is a reminder of how music used to be experienced—not in playlists or shuffled algorithms, but as a complete journey from start to finish.

 

At Clic, photography has always been central to what we do. We are proud to curate works that not only complement our space but also inspire conversations. The new additions from Alex Moore, Blaise Hayward, and Julien Roubinet bring together themes of landscape, nostalgia, music, and memory—an ever-evolving reflection of the stories we choose to tell.

 

Come experience these works in person. After all, art—like music, like a place, like a memory—is meant to be felt.
