Swiss contemporary artist David Renggli (born 1974, Zürich) is known for a multifaceted practice spanning painting, sculpture, collage, installation, photography and even sound work.
Renggli’s work plays with perception, language and everyday materials. He often subverts the familiar: objects or forms that look ordinary at first glance but shift into something surreal, absurd or unexpected on closer inspection.
Language is also a recurring motif in his work—words, phrases, signage, neon signage become vehicles for exploring mis-understanding, ambiguity and the gap between what is seen and what is meant.
