Thierry Garzotto

Subversive urban interventions and modern day hieroglyphics seem to poetically appear when you least expect it. The work of Thierry Garzotto leaves you full of wonder, confusion, and humor.

Thierry deals with material, form, and content like a mad scientist you left to tend to your garden- always leaving you a little afraid, but sometimes with an appreciative smile on your face.

His urban art objects appear to focus on what is not there more than what is. They are a clear statement about what is missing from the environment or the effects of what we have been doing to it all along- It’s what is missing, not what he’s adding, that you are exposed to. His art, as an environmental catalyst, is the intellect of insanity combined with cleverness of a jester- if you’re not in on the joke, then these critical statements must be targeted for you. For the rest of us, well… were the ones walking through the urban environment appreciating the bold statement via a beautiful gesture.
