Tropical BB Painting

Originally from Savoie, Fabien spent his childhood at the heart of the mountains where he devoted himself to the pleasures of drawing, painting and model making. He would then move to the south of France with his family. His love for large spaces would therefore be disrupted by this radical change, both in terms of climate and landscape. This new settlement would heavily influence him and definitively fix his determination to become a painter. He would pursue literary studies and assiduously frequent museums and exhibitions before embracing a commercial career. Aged 27, he stopped his professional career to dedicate himself exclusively to the pursuit of his childhood passion. Initially close to the Provencal school, he produced many canvases with different figurative subjects, ranging from landscapes from his region to representations of scenes from everyday life. The colours were bright and the movements are expressive. He would then wide his field of exploration turning towards resolutely different locations with marked contrasts such as New York, Paris or even Morocco. Since 2010, Fabien has integrated photography into his works, evolving his pictorial work towards a more contemporary language. From personal or professional clichés acquired in offices, Fabien designs original graphic works that come from the Neo Pop style – a worthy successor to the Pop Art movement born in the 1950s. Produced from a subtle mixture of collages, drawings and stencils, his canvases are inspired by icons of American and French cinema, modern urbanism and the world of comics. Firmly contemporary, his art is a true homage to the society of entertainment.
