ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Fabienne Jouvin is a cloisonne artist based between Paris and Provence. Her inspirations come from travels that span Tokyo to Havana, the streets of Paris to the sea beds of the Maldives. She sketches her inspirations both real and imagined, and works with artisans from the border of Mongolia to the workshops of Limoges, Provence, and Paris, to create her multi-disciplinary pieces.

Her work was first exhibited by The Fashion Foundation in Tokyo, and by Frederic De Luca of the Gallery en Attendant Les Barbares in Paris. In 2008, Fabienne lectured at the Arts of Fashion Foundation of San Francisco, to pass on her experience to young designers studying all over the world.

‘I like to play with anachronisms and correspondences, to match colour patches and precision of the observation, to mix austerity and humour, rigour, and spontaneity.’
