David Servan-​Schreiber

Career

David Servan-​Schreiber is a French artist liv­ing in London with his wife and son.
His work is influ­enced by spir­i­tu­al­ity and the var­i­ous envi­ron­men­tal chal­lenges cur­rently fac­ing the Earth and humanity.

Visual Style

Through his dif­fer­ent series, David shares his inter­pre­ta­tion of the uni­verse (Planets), the Earth we live on (Microcosm), our planet viewed from afar (Fever), and the fac­tor of time that impacts every­thing (Time).
David Servan-​Schreiber began his artis­tic jour­ney as a street artist dur­ing his teenage years. He com­pleted his first col­lab­o­ra­tion at the age of 21 and held his first solo exhi­bi­tion at 26 in a London gallery. 

Major Series and Works

His work has since been exhib­ited inter­na­tion­ally on numer­ous occa­sions in art fairs, solo exhi­bi­tions, and per­sonal shows in London, Paris, Los Angeles, New York, and Singapore.

Recognition

David has also worked with envi­ron­men­tally con­scious brands such as Ruinart, Glenfiddich, and Pomellato.
He is co-​author of a 14-​meter-​high sculp­ture incor­po­rat­ing light and sound, rep­re­sent­ing a bee­hive com­mis­sioned by Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s GoodPlanet Foundation in Paris.

Reading the Work

David Servan-Schreiber’s work finds its bal­ance in a poetic and cos­mic vision, nour­ished by plan­ets, the Earth, time, and eco­log­i­cal con­cerns. It is dis­tin­guished by a med­i­ta­tive dimen­sion, atten­tion to mate­ri­als, and a con­tem­po­rary inter­pre­ta­tion of the fragility of life. Approaching his work ben­e­fits from atten­tive­ness to nuance: a com­po­si­tional detail, a way of main­tain­ing dis­tance from the sub­ject, a tex­ture, a color, or a small detail is often enough to reveal its depth.
