Description

French artist Fabrice Hyber moves between the worlds of science and art. Green is his colour; drawing, painting, sculpture, and video are his playgrounds, along with a lush valley of almost seventy hectares in the west of France, where he has planted over 100,000 trees since the 1990s. From an early age, he enjoyed collecting and planting seeds from service, pine, cypress, and maple trees, and observing the movements of streams, plants, and the changes in the trees around him. Staying true to his childhood hobbies, he still delights in expanding and enriching the world.

This catalogue will bring together nearly 100 paintings by Fabrice Hyber, as well as a rich portfolio illustrating the creation and development of the Valley. It will be accompanied by contributions from anthropologist Bruce Albert, philosopher Emanuele Coccia, contemporary art historian Pascal Rousseau, and virologist Olivier Schwartz.

About the Author

French artist Fabrice Hyber first studied mathematics and physics before joining the École des BeauxArts de Nantes (France) in 1979. From very early on, he played with multifaceted means of expression: drawing and painting, but also sculpture, animation, and video. Interested in life, nature, and environmental issues, since 1995, he has planted thousands of trees in his hometown in West of France. In 1997, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. An Officer of the French Order of Arts and Letters since 2012, he was elected to the Académie des BeauxArts in 2018.
