David Altmejd (1974 –)
Explore the intricate sculptures of Canadian artist David Altmejd. Known for blurring lines between figuration & abstraction, his works explore beauty, grotesqueness & interior/exterior spaces. Discover his unique vision!
Untitled is a work by the Canadian artist David Altmejd (Montreal, Canada, 1974). Altmejd mixes different sensations, abandoning the aesthetic precepts that we know and in the western artistic narrative. His sculptures, which invite you to be fascinated by complexity, are full of transformative energy and microscopic details. Materials such as hair, mirrors, glass and fruit moulds are used in unexpected ways and to grotesquely seductive effect. The human body is a major source of inspiration for Altmejd, along with the ability of objects to transform or regenerate. In his works, mirrors multiply space and accumulated details offer glimpses of infinity.
