Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features an array of vibrant, abstract patterns reminiscent of a mosaic or tiled surface. The prominent colors are deep greens, blues, and grays, creating a moody, earthy aesthetic. The composition is divided into distinct geometric shapes, with intersecting lines and jagged edges that suggest a sense of fragmentation and disruption. The overall style conveys a weathered, textural quality, potentially evoking a natural landscape or geological formation.

B.1981, Swiss

Denis Savary layers historical, literary, and mythological references into dreamlike installations, sculptures, video, and drawings, transforming cultural relics and folktales into poetic, uncanny compositions. He often subverts familiar imagery through shifts in scale and material, reanimating motifs from art history into hybrid forms that feel both nostalgic and unsettling. His environments function like theatrical stages—composed of sculptural installations, films, and scenographic arrangements—where puppets and anthropomorphic figures evoke emotional narratives and collective memory. These works probe the boundaries between high and popular culture, blending whimsy with psychological depth. Savary draws inspiration from sources such as Oskar Kokoschka, Max Ernst, and others, translating art-historical references into personal, symbolic forms.

His work becomes a meditation on transformation—blurring boundaries between past and present, fiction and memory, personal and collective. ...
