FABIEN NOVARINO
Originally from Savoy, FABIEN NOVARINO spent his childhood in the heart of the mountains where he indulged in the pleasures of drawing, painting, and model making. He then moved with his family to the south of France.
His love for wide open spaces was then turned upside down by this radical change, both climatic and landscape. This new location would strongly influence him and definitively establish his determination to become a painter.
He pursued literary studies and assiduously frequented museums and exhibitions before embracing a commercial career. At 27, he stopped his professional activity to devote himself exclusively to the pursuit of his youthful passion. Initially close to the Provençale school, he produced numerous paintings with diverse figurative subjects, ranging from landscapes of his region to representations of scenes from everyday life. The colors are vivid, the gesture expressive. He then broadened his field of exploration by turning his gaze towards resolutely different places, with marked contrasts, such as New York or Paris.
Since 2010, abandoning his easel, 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 NOVARINO creates original graphic works in the Neo Pop style – a worthy heir to the Pop Art movement born in the 1950s – created from a subtle blend of collages, drawings and stencils, his paintings are inspired by icons of American and French cinema, modern urbanism and the world of Comics. Firmly current, his art is a beautiful tribute to the entertainment society.
The artist's works
Today, the result of several years of artistic and technical research, FABIEN NOVARINO presents a brand new work in cut metal and acrylic glass, assembled on several planes, connected to each other by spacers. True 3D wall sculptures, these original creations take up the themes that are dear to him: vanity with its butterflies revisited with an offbeat and pop eye, vintage magazines from which he recomposes improbable headlines with absolute icons, comics from the 50s interpreted in a very current Street Art style. His works, with their magnetic power of seduction and astonishing plasticity, intrigue, force curiosity and arouse the desire of amateurs and great collectors throughout the world.
