About the Item

Oil paint on canvas Unique work Hand-signed by the artist Stéphane Fauchille, dream anthropologist “Would you, for a moment, like to become the Claude Lévi-Strauss of the aborigines of an Australia unknown to maps? Then enter into the phantasmagorical painting of Stéphane Fauchille, an ethnologist of the unknown, a learned anthropologist of distant civilizations, undoubtedly lost somewhere in the cosmos, which can only touch the imagination of lovers of science fiction (SF, the initials of Stéphane Fauchille). Tattoed or feathered, these surprising natives are nonetheless holders of unusual instruments, evoking enigmatic technology. These apparent savages are seemingly more evolved than us. Mysterious boxes, convoluted mechanisms whose functioning eludes us, a prehistory endowed with futuristic comfort… One thinks of the far-fetched inventions in Raymond Roussel’s ‘Impressions of Africa’. The surrounding nature, a fantastical jungle softly colored, sometimes evokes in its inventiveness the “Savage Planet”, a masterpiece of animation by Topor. Stéphane Fauchille, a draftsman (drawing is fundamental in his eyes), mentally clears his mind and allows himself to drift freely into an uncontrolled dreamlike state, a kind of automatic drawing generating a bizarre universe, arising like oil in a desert from a mysterious and inexhaustible unconscious. The drawings accumulate in a database, filled with random discoveries. When he shifts to painting, often on large formats, he then feels the need for an organized, structured composition, carefully developed, requiring several preparatory drawings. Whether inspired by ancient engravings or reports found in Paris Match or National Geographic, strange, eccentric, and unexpected subjects engage his imagination: alien typology (the little greys and others), Beatles (surrounded by rabbits and cans of peas), conquistadors reduced to the status of wicked dwarfs, Michelin man bristling with arrows, underwater vespa, and of course everything that resembles the primitive arts of a Quai Branly fallen from the Milky Way. Painting, which mocks the label of anecdotal and loves to tell strange stories (not the least of its functions, even if it is certainly not the only one), has acquired high nobility, from Hieronymus Bosch to Salvador Dali. With the perfect precision of a very advanced technique, Stéphane Fauchille loves to tell stories, preferably improbable ones, crazy stories told with the deadpan seriousness of a scholarly anthropologist.” Xavier Bureau
