Description

Jan Fabre is one of the few artists of our epoch who so radically bring the metaphorical to what is immediately conceivable - and let it unfold its power there. (Lórand Hegyi)

This catalogue invites you to enter the poetic and sensitive universe of an exceptional creator. Artist and author, Jan Fabre lets us see a unique world marked with metaphors, fantasies, symbols and realities. Often presented as a subversive artist, Jan Fabre brings us to discover here the Hour Blue, this hour of daybreak which immerses our reality in a strange universe, in which the forms escape their outline to drown themselves and spread their presence into a deep blue. This poetic hour becomes the intervening period convenient to all kinds of metamorphosis and outbreaks, and so animals, faces, objects appear and rise to the surface scrawled in blue Bic of Jan Fabre's drawings.


Jan Fabre. Les années de l'Heure Bleue - Dessins et sculptures 1977-1992

Jan Fabre fait partie de ces rares artistes de notre époque qui amènent de façon radicale le pétamorphorique à une perception immédiate pour y déplorer sa pleine puissance. (Lórand Hegyi)

Ce catalogue vous propose de pénétrer dans l'univers poétique et sensible d'un créateur hors norme. À la fois artiste et auteur, Jan Fabre donne à voir un monde qui lui est propre, empreint de métaphores, de fantasmes, de symboles et de réalités. Souvent présenté comme un artiste subversif, Jan Fabre nous fait découvrir ici l'Heure Bleue, cette heure de la levée du jour qui immerge notre réalité dans un univers étrange, dans lequel les formes échappent à leur contour pour ce noyer et diffuser leur présence dans un bleu profond. Cette heure poétique devient l'entre-deux propice à toute forme de métamorphose ou d'apparition et c'est ainsi que des animaux, des figures, des objets apparaissent et affleurent sur la couche griffonnée au Bic bleu des dessins de Jan Fabre.
