Gatz is an internationally renowned miniature artist
Inspired by 1/87 scale model figurines, Gatz created his first Box Story in 2010 as a gift for his girlfriend. Self-taught, carried by the enthusiastic reactions around his stories in boxes, he has since had fun staging characters of 2 centimeters in situations that exceed them.
Gatz turns masterpieces into humorous 3D contemporary works
He’s always been drawn to objects with a sense of mystery, such as music boxes, cuckoo clocks and the works of artist Joseph Cornell. Admiring Japanese aesthetics, he builds his scenes in sober, uncluttered universes, working with a selection of materials: wood, polystyrene, foam sheets and paper.
Gatz sees his creations only through the prism of humor, all forms of humor.
Gatz likes to divert figurines from their primary function, inventing a destiny for them. The humor and poetry of the moments he freezes in his boxes are reinforced by the titles that accompany them.
