Fabrice Gygi

Fabrice Gygi

Born in 1965
Based in Geneva

Fabrice Gygi began his career with radical performance before moving on to sculpture, installation, printmaking, and painting. His work highlights the mechanisms of power through objects inspired by public spaces: tents, stands, barriers, and poles, often made of steel, wood, or PVC tarpaulin. These seemingly functional forms reveal a tension between utility and threat, challenging the established order. His work, both political and formally rigorous, explores forms of authority in their everyday banality. He has also explored other formats, creating jewelry, linocuts, and watercolors.
