KREWISS Serge

Graduate Studies in Plastic Arts and Art History - La Sorbonne Paris

Serge Krewiss, by painting water bottles, this inexhaustible theme, never ceases to explore, to give light to see. The artist's objective is to tell stories by giving personality to these water bottles, full or empty, crushed or intact, alone or accompanied, the stories that result each time are different. With his "living" still lifes of water bottles, which he transforms into enigmatic and silent characters, the painter inscribes his work in contemporaneity and timelessness. He is a witness of our time, he shows the poetry of everyday life. , and at the same time, it is part of the history of art through its tributes to other artists or its references to great works.

Serge Krewiss dares to paint, glorify and personify an ordinary object when artists of the past used rare or precious objects as subjects (exotic fruits, gold, silver, silks. And if it was water , the content, which was to be considered precious and not the container Maybe Serge Krewiss wants us to see beyond his plastic bottles Corrupting plastic is invading the planet, and water, source of life and symbol of purity , is becoming rarer every day. We are confronted with this ambivalence The container destroys the content when it seems to preserve it. Serge Krewiss sublimates the hostility of plastic bottles as if he were looking for the light that would save the world
