Gabriel Méxène Explained

Gabriel Méxène
Nationality:French

Gabriel Méxène is the collective pseudonym of French brothers Vincent Fayolle (born 1969) and Damien Fayolle (born 1974).[1] Philosophical poet, his work comprised poetry, painting and engraving. [2]

Biography

His work The Figures consists of several books. Each book (paper, or digital, or marble) combines text and landscapes. The whole is an initiatory narrative elaborating the contemporary image of the sorcerer. Gabriel Méxène was born one summer evening along the ramparts of the Citadel of Villefranche-sur-Mer. During this night of perfect ecstasy, the two brothers conceived a vast and altruistic utopia where poetic narrative, philosophy and painting are united. This utopia, known as "Piedmont-Savoy" is rooted in the history and geography of the Metropolis of Nice. In love with Nice, the author methodically develops his work in the metropolis which becomes his magical and cultural territory. [3]
