Fabio Viscogliosi

Fabio Viscogliosi is a French artist, writer, painter and musician born of Italian parents in Oullins (France) who lives and works between Lyon (FR) and Geneva (CH).

As a musician, he has collaborated with The Married Monk (Rocky, 2001). He has published four solo albums, Spazio (2002), Fenomeno (2007) on which appears a cover of Lucio Battisti, Il nostro caro angelo, in duet with Amedeo Pace of the group Blonde Redhead, Rococo (2019) and Camera (2021). In 1995, Fabio Viscogliosi also produced Big Yum Yum, an instrumental album recorded with children's musicians and dedicated to film music (Un chien andalou, À bout de souffle or Touchez pas au grisbi).

As a painter, his artistic practice is focused on drawing and inspired by different influences like comics, literature, burlesque cinema or graphic design. His artworks are usually untitled or named after songs and quotes from his favorite books and movies. Actually, the sentence by Robert Bresson « Not to use two violins when one is enough » is also a good statement to describe his work as an artist. He has shown his work in places such as the Museum of Contemporary Art (Lyon), Museum of Decorative Arts (Paris), Galerie du Jour – Agnès B. (Paris), and more recently at the Intermediatheque in Tokyo. He has also published several novels in France – Apologie du Slow (Stock, 2014) or Mont-Blanc (Stock, 2011) which has been translated into Italian and Japanese
