Denis Michel (2nyss)
#2nyss is an enigmatic pseudonym befitting the French visual artist who defies classification. Versatile as a painter, designer, and sculptor, the artist champions freedom of expression while delving into profound subjects. At the core of #2nyss's expansive body of work lies a realm steeped in symbolism, offering insights into the inner conflicts of humanity. Through fragmented depictions of the world, the artist unveils the existential dilemmas faced by individuals grappling with life's complexities, including themes of life and death, good and evil, and the anxiety of an uncertain future in a world beyond their control.
Navigating between portraying the soul and a society in flux or decline, #2nyss draws inspiration from diverse sources, including ancient mythology, Catalan culture, and contemporary events in consumerist society. Their work serves as a critique of the absurdity inherent in modern life, juxtaposing familiar imagery with provocative narratives that challenge conventional perceptions.
A master of detail, #2nyss employs meticulous drawing and composition to interrogate both form and content, often blurring the boundaries between flatness and volume. Whether reimagining renowned paintings with a touch of faux-naïveté, crafting fictionalized interpretations of real-world events, or depicting fantastical characters embroiled in intimate and universal conflicts, the artist's creations teeter on the edge of abstraction and expressionism.
At the heart of #2nyss's oeuvre lies Oscar, a sculpted and painted bone symbolizing the convergence of opposites that permeates the artist's exploration. Simultaneously a painter and sculptor, #2nyss embodies duality, mirroring the complexities of humanity through their multifaceted artistic practice.
