Artazart Edition
Because Artazart has been committed to illustration since it set up shop on the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin in July 2000, and because illustrators have placed their trust in us, we are offering an original collection dedicated to illustration.
Many artists, both young and established, don’t have a store, or don’t necessarily have the time to run one: Artazart offers them visibility through a selection of one or more illustrations.
In this way, Artazart aims to democratize illustrators’ creative offerings by offering the public unpublished, signed works in limited editions of just 200 copies, at an ultra-affordable price!
It’s a range of styles, always unique, in which you’re bound to find the next illustration to hang in your home!
Artists of the collection
Marie Nortier
Marie Nortier lives and works in Besançon. Her training as an architect informs her current artistic practice and enriches her representation of space and atmosphere. She uses painting and drawing to represent places that are uninhabited, but which retain traces, memories and sensitive testimonies.
Marie Pellet
Marie Pellet is a French illustrator living in Paris. After 10 years as a layout artist in a press agency, she launched her career as a freelance illustrator in 2020. Using gouache, she paints women, animals and vegetation, as well as everyday objects that she likes to make singular through the infinite variety of colours and composition. Marie Pellet’s naïve, timeless style and childlike way of looking at everything allow her to shed new light on everything that surrounds us.
Marine Coutroutsios
After a degree in Fine Arts, Marine Coutroutsios worked as a sculptor, interior architect and paper designer. In 2017, after several years in Australia where the exoticism of nature rekindled her bond with living things, she settled near the mountains in Grenoble and began her illustration business. In a delicate, dreamlike style, she creates mysterious, bewitching atmospheres and populates her images with vegetation and animals. Today, she regularly illustrates for the press and children’s publishing.
Marine de Quénetain
A Parisian illustrator, Marine de Quénetain was introduced to creativity, colour and design by her parents at an early age. After graduating from ESAG Penninghen in 2009, she co-founded M2D2, a graphic design studio well-known in the publishing world. She worked regularly with a number of magazines (Elle, Grazia, Gala, etc.) and prestigious brands (Van Cleef, Hachette, LVMH), until she turned to painting in 2022. Today she defines herself as a committed illustrator, connected to ecological and societal issues.
Monna Graph
Trained as a graphic designer, Monna Graph is a self-taught illustrator. Passionate about typography, she draws her inspiration from the Victorian period, Art Nouveau and the Decorative Arts. With her graphic tablet, she creates an inverted universe where everyday life is adorned with absurdity, humour, exceptionality and strangeness. In a surrealist approach, she constructs a parallel cosmos where fish soar through the air and birds sink beneath the waves, questioning the boundaries between freedom and captivity.
Morgane Hébert
Parisian collage artist Morgane Hébert discovered the Dada movement and collage in 2016, and hasn’t looked back since! In 2019, she will produce her first commissions, and in 2020, her first collaborations and exhibitions. To make her collages, she hunts through and cuts out magazines and books of all kinds and from all eras, working on a variety of media: paper, wall, glass frame, etc. She attaches great importance to aesthetics and harmony in her creations, rather than to the message. She likes to make images that have nothing to do with each other collide to create stories and get the viewer’s imagination going.
Noémie Malaize
A graduate of the École Estienne in Paris and the Beaux-Arts in Angers, Noémie Malaize has been a freelance graphic designer since 2017. Her escapades and her relationship with gastronomy feed her artistic practice. In 2019, she founded Ilôts, a magazine highlighting edible territories. With one eye on the landscape and the other on the plate, she writes gourmet postcards, imagines culinary haikus and often lingers at the table. Her illustrations are made up of paper cut-outs and coloured pencils with a cheerful palette, from which this artist likes to draw to keep track of the paths she has taken or to sketch the next landscapes she dreams of surveying.
Olivier Ribbe
Olivier Ribbe is an illustrator and art teacher living in Lyon, France. Overflowing with ideas, pencils and drawings, he has been working as an illustrator since 2000. Passionate about art, illustration and design, he works mainly digitally, but is equally at home with traditional techniques. When he’s not drawing, Olivier teaches illustration and graphic design to Masters students. His ideal day consists of walks in the forest and time spent drawing.
Ophélie Lhuire
Ophélie Lhuire has a master’s degree in graphic practice and scientific complexity from Erg, and is an illustrator living in Brussels. She is a member of Atelier Tonpiquant. Fascinated by didactic and naturalistic drawings, she enjoys crossing the themes of art and science, oscillating between botany, the animal kingdom and the human body. Her illustrations explore with precision the structures and inner wonders of living things. Halfway between ancient engravings and modern tattooing, Ophélie mischievously plunges us into an organic world of rare meticulousness and infectious poetry.
Paul Duru
A graduate of EMCA, Paul Duru is now an animated film director and set designer. Fascinated from an early age by the representation of Paris, the city in which he grew up, he naturally turned his artistic work and illustrations towards landscapes. The contrast between city and nature, urbanism and urban wildlife has become his favourite subject. It’s a subject that he never ceases to meticulously put down on paper, using warm colours in vibrant light, true to the world around him.
Paul Sirand
Paul Sirand is a Parisian art director and illustrator. After a master’s degree in advertising at ECV, he co-founded the creative studio “Le fruit studio” in 2013. He has a passion for love, dogs, uniforms and cooking – subjects that come together in his work. Produced digitally, his illustrations often play with chiaroscuro in carefully worked blue and red palettes.
Piment Martin
Behind Piment martin is Marion BEGUE, graphic designer and illustrator.
She has big green eyes and an indomitable mane. Her main subjects: objects; plants and that little totem woman who looks just like her. Marion moves from still life to vivid illustrations where she highlights women and their bodies as an ode to femininity. Above all, she loves mundane scenes that we forget to look at, like a vase on a table, and in her illustrations she depicts the little theaters and details of everyday life, their poetic and humorous sides.
Her illustrations are inspired by her many plants, flea markets full of eccentric objects and lucky finds, and the travels she has made.
Séverine Assous
Séverine Assous is an illustrator who lives and works in Paris. A graduate in engraving from the Arts Décoratifs de Paris, she worked for many years as an art director in advertising agencies. She now devotes her time to illustration and motion design, working for the press, children’s publishing and advertising. Her illustrations are characterised by a minimalist approach, with stylised figures and exaggerated proportions. Her style is joyful and daring, with pop colours applied in broad strokes.
Sheina
Sheina Szlamka is a young illustrator and art director living and working in Paris. After training at the prestigious School of Visual Arts of New York and ESAG Penninghen in Paris, she devoted herself entirely to illustration and painting, using ink and acrylics as her preferred media. She works for fashion, the press, advertising and culture, and has illustrated the books Audacieuses ! and Guérisseuses d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, published by Éditions Eyrolles.
Sophia Babari
After several years as an art director, Sophia Babari embarked on a career as a freelance illustrator in 2015 and now works for a variety of media (publishing, press, visual identity, artwork, packaging). She has also created several impressive frescoes in France (for the Siseng restaurants on the banks of the Canal Saint Martin in Paris, La Grande Marée in Dunkirk) and internationally (in Baja California, Mexico). Using only ink on paper, Sophia Babari’s practice combines the delicacy of pointillism with the sure gesture of line. Her illustrations, teeming with detail, plunge us straight into a fantastic world.
