FAFI CRISTINA, 2006 Acrylic on paper 110.5 x 102.5 cm A few tears in the margins. Gift from a private collection Fafi is a French artist born in Toulouse in 1975. She made a name for herself in 1994 when she took to the walls of her home town with bold, colourful female characters, the famous Fafinettes. Voluptuous, provocative and imbued with a false innocence, these iconic figures create a universe that is both pop and subversive. Through them, Fafi asserts a free and powerful femininity, while shaking up gender stereotypes in a street art environment. stereotypes in a street art world long dominated by men. Sony soon asked her to draw characters for the for the "Time Capsules" collection of toys, an almost natural evolution of her characters in 3-dimensional characters. Other figurines followed, as well as numerous exhibitions and collaborations with exhibitions and collaborations with Colette, Adidas, LeSportSac, Coca Cola, and numerous articles in the most prestigious magazines magazines (Vogue, Elle, The Face, XLR8R, Yen, etc). The world of 3D animation began to take notice of her Mark Ronson's video featuring a "fafinettised" Lily Allen. Instagram: @therealfafi Pierrick Greibill
