The Hidden Sonet Painting

Matthias Fabre was born in 1990. He spent his childhood and his adolescence in Paris. He studied French Philology at the University of Warsaw, where he defended his Master’s thesis on the poetry of the French writer Francis Ponge. Fabre’s paintings are inspired by asemic writings, Japanese calligraphy and the tag (a form of graffiti signature). Fascinated by linguistics and poetry, a painting is for Fabre the place where the lines between the writing and the meaning, the form and the content are blurred. In his artworks, Fabre combines abstract expressionism, minimalism and street art. He lives and works in Warsaw, Poland.
