Fabien Mérelle (1981, Fontenay-sous-Bois)
FABIEN MÉRELLE

Sketch artist Fabien Mérelle (b. 1981, Fontenay-sous-Bois) leads us to a dream world featuring himself. We see him rendered vulnerable and sometimes unsure, ambushed by his own demons. In this reality, the animal kingdom once again reigns over humankind. As a punishment, the artist grows donkey’s ears and floats around on a raft, isolated. The drawings transcend their functionality as self-portraits, and evoke memories of our own nightmares, fantasies, and fears.
Live action / performance: During The Raft. Art is (not) lonely Mérelle will paint the sail and the shadow of ‘his raft’
Voor Het Vlot maakte Mérelle een levensgrote versie hij van zijn tekening Le Radeau de Fortune. Op de zeilen van het vlot worden beelden van de kunstenaar geprojecteerd.
