Solo Exhibition Fondation Louis Vuitton, Venice, Italy
At the invitation of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, and in parallel with La Biennale Architettura 2023, Fabrice Hyber creates La Foresta Invisibile [The Invisible Forest], an in-situ work addressing the future challenges the world will face, particularly ecological concerns.
Hyber, having studied sciences before enrolling at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes (France), began producing works in the 1980s that garnered notice on the artistic scene. His practice of painting and drawing, the starting point for each of his projects, is a way for him to present hypotheses, dovetail ideas, invent forms and play with words. Traced on large canvases, many-branched trees, hybrid beings, modified objects, numbers and symbols reflect his proliferation of thought, open to many other techniques. He incorporates fields as varied as mathematics, neurosciences, commerce, history and astrophysics into the realm of art, along with love, the body, nature and living things. These last two are central to the work of this artist who has adopted green (“Hyber green”) as his colour. Since the 1990s, he has been growing a forest deep in a valley in Vendée, in the Pays de la Loire region of western France, where he spent his childhood. These trees are integral to his work.
