Fabrice Hyber: The Valley
This exhibition catalog brings together nearly 100 paintings by famous French artist Fabrice Hyber, as well as a rich portfolio illustrating the creation and development of the Valley, in Vendée (France) where he has planted over 100,000 trees since the 1990s – a big and very intimate project led by the artist since the 1990s.
French artist Fabrice Hyber is moving between the worlds of science and art. Green is his color; 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.
