The work of Fabien Verschaere is a personal mythology articulated mainly through drawing and watercolors. These paper works and wall drawings create an intimate theatre, where recurrent patterns, human figures (self-portraits, women), animals or objects blend with each other to result in a personal and imaginary world that evokes the human condition. Verschaere's strange configurations, confrontations of characters, situations and atmospheres provoke feelings of ambiguity towards our own relationship and the artist's relationship with this curious universe. The existence alluded to here seems attractive and repulsive, exotic and banal, sometimes dangerous or exciting, sometimes full of meaning, and at others derisory and insignificant. These constant shifts provide the work with its strong foundations, while propelling the spectator towards unexpected encounters.
