In search of lost childhood

Fabesko (Fabienne Escolano), a French artist born in 1970 in Nantes, boasts an impressive curriculum with over 80 exhibitions held both in her homeland and abroad. Inspired by the beloved characters from comic books such as Captain America, Batman, and Spider-Man, she weaves enchanting narratives infused with a wise naivety, as she embarks on a quest to rediscover the missing half of her heart. These characters, once so close to her childhood, now come to life in her artwork, capturing the imagination of viewers and evoking a sense of nostalgia. Join Fabesko on this heartfelt journey as she invites you to embrace the innocence and wonder of your own lost childhood.

Fabesko

Fabienne Escolano, an artist born in 1970 in Nantes, France, currently lives and works in Paris. She has showcased her artwork in numerous exhibitions across various regions of France and internationally, including Chicago, Nantes, Lisbon, Geneva, and Cologne. Describing herself as a serial ludik painteur, Fabesko often recreates the world of childhood, exploring themes related to the imagination of superheroes, toys, and the simplicity of children's playful world. She combines these elements with adult reflections on society. In her works, which integrate painting, collage, assemblage, and sculpture, the "TOPEY" characters appear - a series of colorful and simplified figures created by the artist. Through these characters, Fabesko merges a magical universe with contemporary issues such as war, the plight of children, social problems, and environmental concerns. While painting remains her primary focus, Fabesko also explores three-dimensional mediums and techniques, incorporating the creation of dolls with various names such as Super Dolls, Psycotic Dolls, and Dead Dolls. This results in a sharp and critical body of work that retains the primary motives of childhood: "If life is not a fairy tale, we must invent one" (Fabesko).
