Over the last few decades, Swiss art has been recognised for its sense of irony, served as a reaction to the reputation of a country where precision, seriousness and rigour is key.

DAVID RENGGLI’s distinctive and uncanny oeuvre is no exception, which consists of slapstick sculptures, large-scale installations that conjure the surreal and absurd and, melancholic still-life photography. Ambiguity and instability plays a big part within RENGGLI’s artistic and aesthetic world. Through the transformation of everyday household objects and low-grade materials, his works strike a balance between surrealism and precision.

DAVID RENGGLI was born in Zurich, Switzerland where he continues to live and work.
