Fabien Novarino
Originally from Savoie, Fabien Novarino spent his childhood in the heart of the mountains where he indulged in the pleasures of drawing, painting, and modeling. He then moved with his family to the south of France.
His love for vast spaces was then profoundly disrupted by this radical change, both climatic and landscape-wise. This new environment strongly influenced him and definitively established his determination to become a painter.
Fabien Novarino pursued literary studies and frequently visited museums and exhibitions before embarking on a commercial career. At 27, he stopped his professional activity to devote himself exclusively to pursuing his youthful passion. Initially close to the Provençal school, he created numerous canvases with diverse figurative subjects, ranging from landscapes of his region to representations of everyday life scenes. The colors are vivid, the gesture expressive. He then expanded his field of exploration by turning his gaze towards radically different places, with marked contrasts, such as New York or Paris.
Since 2010, leaving his easel behind, Fabien Novarino has integrated photography into his works, evolving his pictorial work towards a more contemporary language. Using personal or professional photographs acquired from agencies, Fabien conceives original graphic works that belong to the Neo-Pop style – a worthy heir to the Pop Art movement born in the 1950s – created from a subtle mixture of collages, drawings, and stencils, his canvases draw inspiration from icons of American and French cinema, modern urbanism, and the world of Comics. Firmly contemporary, his art is a beautiful tribute to the entertainment society.
The Works of Fabien Novarino
Today, the result of several years of artistic and technical research, Fabien Novarino presents a completely new work in cut metal and acrylic glass, assembled on several planes, connected by brackets. True 3D wall sculptures, these original creations revisit the themes that are dear to him: vanity with its butterflies reinterpreted with a pop and offbeat eye, vintage magazines whose improbable covers he recomposes with absolute icons, 1950s comics interpreted in a very contemporary Street Art style. His works, with their magnetic power of seduction and astonishing plasticity, intrigue, spark curiosity, and arouse the desire of amateurs and major collectors around the world.
