Vincent Faudemer is a contemporary French artist. Faudemer makes figurative sculptures in resin, bronze, and silver nitrate that are influenced by the characters of Babar, The Little Prince, and other childhood heroes. He reinterprets these innocent images and occasionally adds the branding of high-end fashion labels to make social commentary on the state of the modern society.
He gives his character Babolex a brand-name, high-end luxury item to wear, as if to represent a global culture of affluent consumers. Babolex, the elephant chosen by the artist, perfectly embodies the opposition between purity and childhood, as well as the transition into adulthood and the changing of values. The elephant is a pillar of Africa, a source of wisdom and knowledge in religious beliefs, and a deity for many civilizations.
In 2021, Vincent Faudemer was the best-selling French contemporary artist in the world. The Kardashian Family, Steve Aoki, Shéri Nicole, Amanda Cerny, Ian Ziering, Pierre André Gignac, Martika Caringella, and Chris Brown are just a few famous people who possess a Babolex.
