In “Water Music,” Peter Dušek invites viewers into a world where the ephemeral dance of light and wind on water becomes a visual symphony. This series of abstract photographs captures the fluid interplay of natural elements—ripples, currents, and gusts—transformed into compositions that evoke rhythm, harmony, and movement. Water, in its ceaseless flux, serves as both canvas and collaborator for Dušek, while light and wind act as unseen composers, shaping patterns that resonate like notes in a melody. Echoing Jackson Pollock and the dynamic spontaneity of Abstract Expressionism, Dušek harnesses a parallel energy, where nature’s unpredictable gestures recall the bold, gestural freedom of that movement.
Dušek’s process is one of observation and surrender. Equipped with a camera, he seeks out moments where the ordinary becomes extraordinary—where sunlight fractures into prismatic hues or a breeze carves fleeting sculptures across the surface. These images are not mere representations but interpretations, blurring the line between reality and abstraction. The result is a series that feels at once familiar and otherworldly, inviting contemplation of nature’s quiet artistry.
“Water Music” is an exploration of transience and the beauty found in impermanence. It asks viewers to listen with their eyes—to hear the whispers of wind, the pulse of waves, and the shimmer of light as they weave together in a symphony that exists only for an instant, preserved here for a lifetime.
Images of the Water Music series are not available for viewing online at this time. Contact the Peter Dušek Gallery for more information.
