keba
Premiere of Fabien Verschaere’s first film. «Keba» was made during a residency in Kinshasa, Congo. The discovery of Africa resonated strongly in the poetic and plastic universe of the artist, nourishing him with new visions, new subjects, new sounds and flavors that came naturally and deeply grafted into it.
The integration of watercolors made in Kinshasa in the filmed images gives the film another, more dreamlike substance. The personal look on the real mingles with the space of the imaginary
This film was supported by the Ministry of Culture – Delegation to the Visual Arts, the Central Region, AFAA, the City of Tours and the City of Chinon.
fabien verschaere
The artist was born in 1975 in Vincennes. He lives and works in Paris.
Fabien Verschaere uses a falsely childish vocabulary in his drawings, frescoes or sculptures. He approaches major themes of life such as sex, madness, disease, or death, in a dreamlike or nightmarish way. Filled with monsters, chimeras and fairies, his abundantly creative universe draws inspiration from tales, mythology, comics, but also everyday life. Everything is intertwined without hierarchy, and without a defined narrative arch. The artist creates his own and personal mythology, and gives just as much poetic weight to the beautiful as the banal.
Fabien Verschaere is represented by the Galerie Brugier-Rigail, Paris.
