Séve Favre

Lausanne-based artist Sève Favre’s work challenges viewers to engage in her artistic process. By integrating the viewer into her art in a direct and tactile way, she wants them to understand the research and questioning that an artist asks him or herself during the process of experimentation and creation.

Relying heavily on engaging the public in her digital-like canvases, she says, “The work that emerges from the encounter between my work and the viewer is plural. My artworks of art thus become personal, variable, changing, permanently reversible and, therefore, multiple. Each painting, although unique, contains several paintings because each modification made by the spectator induces a new design of the artwork. This is why some paintings are compared with their combinatorial mathematical calculation so that the viewer realises the multiple components of an artwork.”

Whether virtual or in-person, Sève’s work impacts the way viewers think about art and concepts. It also encourages us to question our tactile relationship between the real and the virtual.

Sève has exhibited in both Switzerland and abroad. Recently, she finished a solo exhibition in a museum in Fribourg, Switzerland. She is also nominated by the Arte Laguna Prize in installations and sculptures.
