Jerry Sarig | All eyes on you
My artistic practice explores themes of childhood, drawing inspiration from memories and early sketches. This process serves as a journey of self-exploration, blending conscious and unconscious elements to create recurring characters. These figures take shape in diverse forms and textures, articulated through embroidery, ceramics, acrylics, and oil painting, often combined in multilayered, collage-like compositions.
With over 20 years as a multidisciplinary creator, my artistic journey is deeply influenced by my background in architecture and my experience as the founder and designer of the fashion brand JERRY. After 17 years in the fashion industry, where precision and structure defined my work, I transitioned to art, embracing imperfection as an aesthetic principle. Loose threads in embroidery, unfinished ceramic edges, and distorted faces in my paintings challenge traditional ideals of flawlessness. My process is meditative and intuitive, allowing ideas to evolve organically.
