#1000Raben - Von Überlebenskünstler zu Überlebenskünstler (2022) Sculpture by Dennis Josef Meseg

Dennis Josef Meseg is a contemporary German artist whose passion for the diverse facets of the world, encompassing people, animals, and nature, serves as the driving force behind his artistic endeavors. Meseg's approach to creating installations is distinct, rooted not in the pursuit of easy commercial appeal due to their aesthetic beauty, but rather in their capacity to convey enduring and socially critical messages.

Motivated by a desire to directly engage audiences with topics that often linger at a distance or remain abstract, Meseg's art addresses issues such as consumption, the environment, war, pandemics, and the hidden costs of prosperity. Through his installations, he seeks to prompt meaningful conversations and draw attention to shared concerns that impact us all.

Meseg's art serves as a powerful means to connect with people, providing a platform to engage them in dialogue and raise awareness about critical issues. The artist's dedication to initiating conversations is reflected in the overwhelmingly positive responses to his installations. Notably, his Corona memorial piece titled "It is like it is" received acclaim and was honored with the CREO Prize in 2021.

Continuing his impactful artistic journey, Meseg's current installation, "Broken 1.4 | Broken/(Un)Broken," sheds light on the global suffering endured by oppressed, tortured, and often fatally victimized women and girls. The resonance and positive reception of his work stand as both motivation and confirmation that Meseg is making a meaningful difference with his art, inspiring change and fostering awareness in the world around him.
