Transfiguration by Olivier de sagazan
For more than 20 years, Congo-born, France-based artist Olivier de Sagazan has developed a hybrid practice that integrates painting, photography, sculpture, and performance. In his existential performative series Transfiguration, which he began in 2001, de Sagazan builds layers of clay and paint onto his own face and body to transform, disfigure and take apart his own figure, revealing an animalistic human who is seeking to break away from the physical world. At once disquieting and deeply moving, this new body of work collapses the boundaries between the physical, intellectual, spiritual and animalistic senses.
Olivier de Sagazan states: “I am interested in seeing to what degree people think its normal, or even trite, to be alive.”
