The work of French artist Fabien Mérelle involves creative combinations
of dreams, experiences, and his early childhood imagination. He blurs
the line between reality and fiction and his bio states: "Following the
unrolling of a dream, playing with the free association of shapes and
ideas, he seems to say that everything is transforming, metamorphing,
opening itself to the most diverse interpretations."
Mérelle's complex works are small and he pays close attention to detail,
two qualities that can be seen in this particular work, entitled
Pentateuque. The piece is a whimsical sculpture that depicts a man,
balancing the weight of an elephant on his back. It is made out of
resin, paint, hair and fabric, and stands only 30 x 27 x 12 inches. The
three dimensional form is a replica of the artist's original Pentateuch
2010 ink drawing, both of which visually interpret the phrase "carrying
the weight of the world on your shoulders." Pentateuque was recently
exhibited at the 2013 Art Stage Singapore international art fair, which
took place at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore earlier this month. 06 more images after the break...
