Fabián Rey, aclamado artista boricua radicado en Austin, ha sido elegido para representar a esa ciudad en una exhibición internacional única en Angers, Francia. Rey pintará un mural como parte del proyecto Echappée d’Art, como parte de las iniciativas para revitalizar con arte la ciudad, de cara a la celebración de los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano.

El programa Echappée d’Art, dirigido por el Ayuntamiento de Angers y celebrado desde 2016, comenzó el 25 de septiembre y se extenderá hasta el 11 de octubre. El proyecto pretende impregnar de arte a las calles, invitando a artistas de todo el mundo a aportar su creatividad al paisaje de la ciudad.

Austin artist to paint mural in France ahead of Summer Olympics.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Artist Fabian Rey is adding a splash of color to Austin’s sister city in France ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Austin-based muralist Fabian Rey is heading to Angers, France as part of the Echappée d’Art project, an international showcase. He’ll be painting a mural in the French city from Sept. 25 through Oct. 11 in an effort “to spruce up the city in time for the Summer Olympics,” he told KXAN.
The City of Angers’ Echappée d’Art program offers artists from around the world the opportunity to come “breathe art into the streets.”

Some of Rey’s previous work includes the 2023 Tifo for Austin FC’s first home game of the season at Q2 Stadium, the new Austin PBS building and the wrap around CapMetro’s first electric bus.

Echappées d’Art, meaning "Art is in the Street," is an annual street art initiative by the City of Angers. It invites five artists from all around the world to contribute to the city's vibrant artistic landscape with all-inclusive mural creations. The project underscores Angers' commitment to cultural exchange and the universality of art.

I am truly honored for being chosen to go represent Austin in Angers, France.

Je t'aime Austin!

This is what the french newspaper wrote:
Celebrating the Franco-American friendship with its twin city Austin, Angers will welcome the muralist Fabian Rey for the creation of a fresco in a unique and colorful style. Also a photographer, artistic director and art teacher, the multifaceted artist puts his creativity at the service of diversity, placing openness to the world and to others at the heart of his work.

I’ve always been a big fan of Joan Miró’s work, that’s why I feel honored to have my artwork “United States of Immigrants” next to an original Joan Miró painting at a collectors home here in Austin.

Miró was born in Barcelona in 1893 and was inspired by the interlocking shapes and facets of Picasso's cubist art. He was a Catalan painter who combined abstract art with Surrealist fantasy. His paintings are a balance between Earth and Sky, where the Earth represents reality and the Sky represents Dreams. Miró was a prolific and influential multimedia artist who developed a unique visual language and never lost his flair for experimentation.

It’s very cool and inspiring to be next to this legend. Gracias Austin por apreciar mi arte y por todo el amor!
