Fabesko's characters travel through space, a little lost, smiling and full of melancholy. They don't dissolve in the poetry of vibrant and fiery colors, even when immersed in shadow. Instead, they invent a different perspective made up of fragments of a timeless comedy. Stepping onto the stage, they invite us to accept the challenge of this modern fairy tale, one of achievable beauty and awakened joy that permeates their creations.

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).
