Fafi is undoubtedly one of the most prominent female graffiti/street artists in the world whose work has gone from streets to galleries to major collaborations with brands such as MAC cosmetics, Swatch watches and LeSportSac. Centered around a character named Birtak and his desire to join the Paris Opéra Ballet, The Carmine Vault brings to life Fafi’s colorful and irreverent world for the first time in a lavish graphic-novel format. Combining comic book elements with the prestige and allure of art books, the book employs elegant compositions and innovative printing effects to reproduce vivid, never-before-seen work from this celebrated artist. The book is available for pre-order online for $29.95 USD while Fafi will be doing an in-store signing on April 2 at colette in Paris.
