Stuck to the pregnant belly of his wife, an elephant clinging on his back, or in close embrace with his father, Fabien M relle portrays himself as the protagonist in his drawings in an absurd and surrealistic play.

He is known for the anatomical precision of his figures, the sea of white that surrounds them, and the dreamlike quality of his work.

This book combines the highlights from his oeuvre to date, with a hundred drawings and a selection of sculptures.

M relle has exhibited at The Armory Show in New York, at Art Paris, and was one of the most prominent artists in Jan Fabre's recently curated show, The Raft (Mu.

In 2010, he was the first winner of the Prix Canson, awarded annually for outstanding work on paper.
