Signed and dated 'Fabien Adèle 2022' on the reverse.
Fabien Adèle Born in 1993 in France. Lives and works in Paris. He studied visual art at Montpellier University (2014–2017) and completed master's degrees in the History of Art, Design and Media and in Multimedia Design at Sorbonne University. Represented by Almine Rech; solo exhibitions include Corridors (Almine Rech, Brussels, 2023) and Distraction (Mine Project, Hong Kong, 2021).
Adèle's paintings are populated by stoic, frozen figures reminiscent of antique statues, set in interiors and landscapes that are at once ethereal and luminous. His work is often compared to the American magic realists he admires — Alex Colville, Andrew Wyeth and Jared French.
