The catalog Serge Krewiss. Humanités plastiques documents the artist's solo exhibition at the Musée Michel Ciry in Varengeville-sur-Mer from October 5 to November 3, 2024. The book includes a foreword by Florence Gopikian Yérémian.

Born in 1971, Serge Krewiss studied Fine Arts and Art History at the Sorbonne in Paris, where he currently lives. By painting water bottles, Serge Krawiss never stops exploring and revealing light. His aim is to tell stories by giving personality to these water bottles: full or empty, crushed or intact, alone or accompanied. With his “living” still lifes of water bottles, which he transforms into enigmatic, silent characters, Serge Krewiss inscribes his work in the contemporary and the timeless. He is a witness to our times, revealing the poetry of everyday life, while at the same time inscribing himself in the history of art through his tributes to other artists and his references to great works. Serge Krewiss dares to paint, glorify and personify an ordinary object, when artists of the past used rare or precious objects (exotic fruits, gold, silver, silks, etc.) as their subject.
