Fabrice Hyber is a member of the French Académie des Beaux-arts and a major figure on the international art scene. For nearly forty years, he has developed a unique and overt body of work, with drawing, painting, sculpture and installation as the mainstays of his prolific output that explores the relationship between humans and the contemporary world in an unbridled dialogue between arts and sciences. From mathematics to biomorphism, encompassing the full range of environmental issues involved, his work helps to raise our collective awareness of the fundamental links between nature and humankind.
This publication is published to coincide with Fabrice Hyber's exhibition "Climats" at MASC, musée d'Art moderne & contemporain des Sables d'Olonne, in 2024.
French artist Fabrice Hyber (born 1961 in Luçon) is acknowledged to be one of the major figures of French
contemporary art. Over the past thirty years Fabrice Hyber has worked with highly diverse
approaches creating a vast corpus of work with striking formal and conceptual ramifications.
Dialogue with many different disciplines adds to the variable geometry of Fabrice Hyber's
work. Interaction with physics, neuroscience, astronomy, phytotherapy… takes the viewer to
a much wider plane where all the dimensions of human experience are summoned. Hyber
multiplies possibilities for intervening on shape, behaviour, organization by working with
many different media—paint, video and installations. His conception of art rubs up against
ways of living the world. His proposals challenge the ways we interpret what is real, what
Hyber sometimes refers to as the “commerce” of forms.
