Enchanté Spotlight: McBess



Matthieu Bessudo (AKA McBess) has been on a steak of sorts. Since graduating SupInfoCom, one of France's most prestigious computer graphic schools, his illustrations have appeared in Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose and Root Magazine. He first grabbed attention as one of the talents behind the Sigg Jones short film, a final project for school that quickly made the rounds on the internet. With an eye towards Asian action flicks, aggressive branding and pop-art illustration, the short 3-D film showed a lot of promise.

A far cry from his work on Sigg Jones, Bessudo's illustrations offer a more home-grown feel, often featuring a stand-in for the artist, complete with long hair and shaggy beard. A musician as well as a visual artist, Bessudo's passion for music fuels his graphic output. His illustrations feature amplifier worship, musician types with feral grins and cartoonish instruments and a lot of rock and roll excess usually played out amidst forests and meadows.

Enchanté Spotlight: Alexandre Day



If you've frequented our exhibits over the past two years, you may be familiar with French artist Adolie Day whose work we have now shown on several occassions.  With the coming exhibit focusing on the work of French artists, we've found it a perfect opportunity to also showcase that of her husband, Alexandre Day, an accomplished artist in his own right.  The painter and illustrator has a love for graphite, and possesses the ability to create amazing imagery with just a pencil and gum.  Alexandre focuses on simplicity while still evoking complex emotion.

Enchanté Spotlight: Rebecca Dautremer

With boundless imagination, French artist Rebecca Dautremer creates captivating worlds and characters captured on the pages of picture books highly coveted by adults and children alike.  With well over a dozen books to her credit in the past fifteen years, she oftentimes reworks classic tales or folklore such as in Cyranno (images below) or Babayaga.  The pages contain endearing and unique subtleties that are a result of the artist working closely with the writers throughout the process of book production.  At times Dautremer has even taken on the role of writer herself or in collaboration with her husband Taï-Marc Le Thanh.  Her imagery possesses a deep sense of intrigue and even melancholy as she employs gouache and sometimes oils.  Dautremer has also recently brought her storytelling and design talents to the animation, Kerity: La Maison des Contes, directed by Dominique Monféry.

We are pleased to be featuring original work by the artist in the upcoming exhibition Enchanté
