Fabien Delaube - Fleurs IX

Portrait made up of flowers. Fragments of individuals imbued with a poetry as timeless as it is fantastical, the works of Fabien Delaube plunge us into a contemplation “in the mirror” in which one may wonder, of the two, who is gazing at whom? A complete artist. At once a specialized decorator (trained at the Opéra de Bordeaux and with the Compagnons du Devoir) and a painter, he first trains in audiovisual techniques, and more particularly in photography. Later, the artist pursues a rich and plural apprenticeship in the visual arts. Skilled in mastering all painting techniques, from classical painting to trompe-l’oeil, his personal art reveals itself in the execution of an original contemporary figurative painting, imbued with dreamlike imagery. Fabien Delaube, however, leans toward oil painting, which he likes to apply to perfect the finish of all his works. Mysterious characters. The artist enjoys painting human bodily characteristics, more or less discernible, and these recall forms inspired by African masks or other faces borrowed from the history of theater or the military. . In seeking to decipher the “scars” of colour and texture with which their faces are partially or entirely covered, one could almost pierce their history.
