Company Gallery has announced the representation of Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury.
Fleury is renowned for her installations, sculptures, and mixed-media pieces. Emerging in the 1990s, her early “shopping bag” installations laid the groundwork for a provocative and playful body of work that explores our emotional and aesthetic connections to consumer culture. Through symbols of modern life such as luxury fashion, makeup, race cars, and icons of contemporary art, Fleury critiques the interchange between high-end luxury and trash culture, employing advertising strategies to dissect subversions, paradoxes, truths, and values.
Just Jacuzzi, Fleury’s inaugural solo exhibition at Company in January 2024 transformed the entire gallery with new and seminal works that continued her exploration into our perceptions of luxury fetishization and gendered consumption patterns. A solo exhibition of Fleury’s works titled Yes to All is currently on view at Kunsthal Rotterdam through September 2024. Other recent exhibitions include those at Sprüth Magers, London and Karma International, Zurich as well as institutional solo shows at Kunstmuseum Winterthur (2023), Pinacoteca Agnelli, Aranya Art Center and Bechtler Stiftung (all 2022), Kunstraum Dornbirn, the Instituto Svizzero, Rome (both 2019). Fleury (b.1961) lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland.
