Jose Maria Rodriguez Madoz (born 1958) better known as Chema Madoz, is a Spanish photographer, best known for his black and white surrealist photographs. Chema Madoz studied Art History at Universidad Complutense de Madrid between 1980 and 1983. It is here that he was first exposed to the study of photography and imaging. In an interview published in 2001, Chema explains that he currently uses a Hasselblad camera to take his photos. The book, Chema Madoz: Objetos 1990–1999 was presumably shot entirely with this camera, rather than the 6×6 Mamiya he has used previously.
Some of these are truly mind bloggling since all of these photographs are made from ordinary household objects seen from a perspective that we don’t usually look at.
Every corner had a delightful surprise, composition is utterly perfect in its purity and motifs are full of amusing ironies; humorous, intelligent and inspiring.
Images that make you think out of the box – and yet so apparently simple.
These photos take what Man Ray started, almost a century ago, and pick up that ball, taking it to further levels.
