Denis Savary
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2018
Denis Savary’s multifaceted practice includes drawing, sculpture, installation, video, and performance. From single-channel observational videos, to anthropomorphic sculptures and traditional drawings of nudes, Denis’ practice freely appropriates and references narratives from art history, literature, and science.
Denis' work has been shown in group and solo shows internationally, including Swiss Cultural Centre, Paris; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; MAMCO, Geneva; Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva; Musée Rath, Geneva and Swiss Institute, New York. Denis has received grants and awards from Fondation Vaudoise pour la Culture and Bourse de la Fondation Leenaards.
