Matthias Garff, Robin, Great Tit, Goldfinch & Chaffinch, all 2019 🌿🪶

@matthias_garff’s monumental Robin is made from a car roof box, a doormat, wood, paint, and bicycle bells. As unlikely as this combination of materials may sound, the bird gazes out at viewers with remarkable liveliness and charm. Garff constructs his other bird sculptures from discarded everyday objects as well, sourced from flea markets or from friends and family. The Goldfinch, for example, incorporates an old suitcase that once belonged to the artist’s father. Through this approach, Garff draws on the art-historical traditions of assemblage and object art, rooted in the readymades of modernism and later developed through the material experiments of Nouveau Réalisme.

His works reflect a contemporary world in which nature and human life are inseparably intertwined. Balancing playful invention with subtle ecological reflection, they offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between nature, material culture, and the realities of everyday life.
