• JEWELS •
a collage series by DENNIS BUSCH on display at the SISS BLISS showroom
They belong together. They form a unity. They are attuned to each other; this is how Dennis Busch describes the two main actors (stone and wearer) of his JEWELS series. Each stone is unique. Each body is too. And the two attract each other like magnets. The energetic compatibility of the two parts is at the centre of the action. From the beginning of history until today. The power of the stones belongs to the primordial knowledge of humanity. And finally there is the big C – the Cut! The cut of a stone turns the stone into a gem, the cut of the paper turns the collage into a work of art.
Dennis Busch’s (b.1971) collages burst with movement. Figures, shapes, and colours explode with centrifugal force in the artist’s handmade works on paper. Since the late 1980s the German artist, musician and illustrator spends most of his time cutting and pasting and creating a new colourful world where logic and time have no place. Everything is constantly in flux – always vibrating and shining. His exciting works have been exhibited in Hamburg, Barcelona and New York, among other places. Dennis Busch is the co-author of the well-known book series “The Age of Collage”, Vol. I – III, published by Gestalten Verlag.
