Serge Game

In recent drawings Serge Game portrays a dystopian world populated by residents who seem obsessed with (blood) lust. Flames with human traits and vengeful totem poles fight their disagreements in a landscape littered with wreckage, bones and trophies.

Not always immediately noticeable, but systematically woven through the works, are fragile bodies hanging above the smoking rubble. Although in stark contrast to all warmongering, it remains unclear whether they are victims, accomplices or the souls of the fallen.

Game's three-dimensional work can easily be traced back to his drawings and paintings. Monumental structures, organic or not, rope and bondage, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic elements in what most resembles abstract creatures/organisms, and constructions inspired by reliquaries find their way to these sculptures. Sculptural language that winks at comics and manga is combined with influences from Western mythology and references to pre-Columbian and Oceanic artifacts.

It produces a world of sculptures and figures with grotesque characteristics, motionless monumental forms and enigmatic objects of which it remains unclear whether their (mystical) function is definitively stranded or only slumbering.
