Description
The artwork presented is a series of square tiles arranged in a grid formation. The predominant colors are various shades of green, ranging from deep forest hues to lighter, more muted tones. The tiles exhibit an uneven, textured surface, creating a sense of weathered and aged materials. The overall composition appears to be a combination of rectangular shapes, with some subtle variations in the tones and patterns across the individual tiles. This piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of natural materials and their inherent imperfections, potentially referencing themes of time, decay, and the embrace of organic irregularities in contemporary art. ...
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 Savary draws inspiration from sources such as Oskar Kokoschka, Max Ernst, and others, translating art-historical references into personal, symbolic forms.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. ...
