Andy Denzler combines a variety of media in his art practice, including painting, sculpture, and drawing. His works respond to traditional portrait painting through an expressive and multi-layered application of impasto oil paint and the subsequent removal thereof, resulting in the morphing of the image. He explains: “I’m using distortion and interference to depict surreal imagery, transience, and the influence of the media on today’s society. In this age of digital overstimulation, I am interested in people’s sensitivities and their search for their own identity. In both the form and content of my paintings, I take a conscious stand against today’s artificial, fleeting imagery, away from perfectionism and high-gloss aesthetics….” Just like in one of Luis Buñuel’s surrealistic films, Denzler transfers his scenes to deserted places, rooms caught between dream and reality. As if watching a VHS movie, the observer’s attention is directed to the architecture of the room, the figures, the interior, the incidence of light, and the depth of field. Yet the scenes have no outcome, like puzzles deliberately left unsolved. 'Fragmented Identity' examines Denzler’s works from the past seven years: interiors, zone paintings, photo frame paintings, portraits and works on paper.

Born in 1965, Andy Denzler is a Swiss artist who lives and works in Zurich. In his art, Denzler integrates knowledge acquired from a background in new media and computer graphics with a color palette inspired by dusty old photographs. Denzler expresses realism and immobility through photographs that he has taken himself. He uses landscapes and portraits of people he knows to mirror simple sequences of everyday life. Through this procedure, he shows a wish to control, using these photos as a guide to his paintings and their storytelling. He adds a dramatic character to his works with the use of the impasto technique, and then softens the effect in certain places of the canvas by delicately manipulating the image from a flowing figurative form into a more abstract vocabulary. His creations are full of motion, passion, violence, and beautiful visual balance. He follows a similar path and concept to create his bronze sculptures. His works have been exhibited in galleries and museums in Europe, the United States, and Asia, and form parts of private and public collections such as those of the Denver Art Museum, the Museum Würth, the Moscow Museum of Art, the Kunsthalle Rostock, and the White Cube Collection.
