Fabien Mérelle Masters Ink And Watercolor To Craft Pyjama-Clad Figures Teetering On Absurd Family Edges

Fabien Mérelle (b. 1981, Fontenay-aux-Roses) masters ink and watercolor with Eastern finesse from Xi’an studies and Dürer-like precision from Paris Beaux-Arts, portraying pyjama-clad figures in dreamlike family scenes of vulnerability, transformation, absurdity, and subtle psychological irony.

His humble, sparse style fuses meticulous detail with subconscious narratives, blurring everyday reality into surreal, darkly humorous vignettes of human fragility. Available products include intricate original drawings, resin sculptures like the weight-bearing “Pentateuque,” public installations such as “Jusqu’au Bout du Monde,” and gallery editions.
