Specialist note

`In his best BIC art, Fabre developed a highly individual virtuosity, whereby the allegory of blue resulted in a complex cluster components of meaning. The materialisation of blue in the form of the BIC drawing therefore forms the basis for the materialisation of Fabre’s drawing activity itself. Colours are in themselves very complex materialisations of an essentially invisible phenomenon, which nonetheless makes things visible: light.’
