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’
