Fabien Karp, born in 1992, in Nice, France, is an artist residing in Saint-Gilles, Belgium. Initially studying law, his passion for art led him to pursue a Bachelor’s in Art from ENSAD Nancy and a Master in Painting from ENSAV la Cambre.
He’s exhibited widely, showcasing diverse works in various mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture, and more. Inspired by the French Riviera, where he comes from, his art often reflects its vibrant visuals with a touch of pop aesthetics.
Fabien Karp experiments with different materials, blending them to challenge traditional boundaries. He’s fascinated by the interplay between materiality in art and the clash it presents with an artist’s thoughts, mirroring the complexities of human existence.
Beyond paintings, Fabien Karp explores performance, publishing, sculpture, and sound, always focusing on visual impact, pushing the boundaries of art and inviting them to explore a world of visual possibilities.
