la géographie du totem
For Fabien Verschaere, drawing is the immediate translation of an idea, a thought or an emotion, and serves as the starting point for his performances and installations. Like automatic writing, the artist develops a glossary of forms and characters that is constantly revisited.
For this new solo exhibition at ccc od, Fabien Verschaere is symbolically unfurling a geographical map in which works produced in recent years engage in dialogue with previously unseen productions. He extends his universe into the transparent galleries, visible from outside the ccc od.
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.
