Fabio Melone
Melone's work exists in the invisible space between the earthly and the infinite. It is a poetic exploration of boundaries — navigating the delicate tension between proximity and distance, vulnerability and protection, intimacy and the public eye.
Work
Deeply rooted in language and often beginning with intimate Italian poetry and inner monologues jotted down in his studio, Melone translates these emotional fragments into powerful physical forms.

Resonanz
SURREALIST SALON - Fever Dream
What happens when art and audience begin to resonate with one another? When colour, form, sound, and space start to respond — and something within us is stirred?

The group exhibition Resonance brings together artists whose practices engage in diverse and individual ways with the idea of resonance. Together, they explore how art can move, connect, and reverberate beyond the moment of encounter.

Tra cielo e pelle
Kunsthalle Wil, CH
16.08. - 5.10.2025
Fabio Melone's work spans the realms of painting, sculpture, collage, and textile art. He merges physical, gestural, and figurative forms, connecting the visible with the invisible. Tra cielo e pelle poetically frames this process—the connection between the earthly and the transcendental.

By using fragments from glossy fashion magazines, his collages explore the construction and deconstruction of the body. Within every brushstroke or thread, Melone weaves subtle nuances and stark contrasts that raise questions about human appearance, transience, migration, and roots. His works explore the complexity of human existence and our sense of self in the external world.

SURREALIST SALON - Fever Dream
Zurich Art Weekend, The Dolder Grand Zurich, CH
13. - 15.06.2025
Born from the wreckage of war and the collapse of certainty, Surrealism emerged in the early XX century as a movement shaped by crisis - by the psychic scars of world war, by the anarchic energy of Dada, and by Freud's revelations of the unconscious mind. A century later, the world finds itself in another fever dream. Once again, we are faced with a crisis of perception. And once again, Surrealism offers a refuge.

FEVER DREAM is a contemporary Surrealist Salon curated by Olena Iegorova and FOMO Art Space — a space where artists, designers, and thinkers reclaim the irrational, the subconscious, and the dreamlike as acts of resistance.
