Agnès Hostache

After working as an art director in advertising and then in an interior design agency, Agnès Hostache is now, to our great delight, a full-time illustrator. Using gouache or acrylic, she likes to transcribe the little things of everyday life, those scenes made up of minute details that we might otherwise have missed, but which really tell the story of our lives…

Trained in the applied arts, it is certainly her training in interior architecture that has given her a taste for telling the story of interiors and the lives of their inhabitants. Close to the “Mingei udo” movement (a popular Japanese art movement of the 1920s-1930s), she exhibited “Portraits d’illustres inconnus et autres petits riens” at Artazart in late 2018. Her first graphic novel, “Nagasaki”, adapted from the French novel (by Eric Faye), is a miracle of delicate sobriety. It won a prize at the 47th Angoulême Festival.
