Éditions Artazart

Because Artazart has loved illustration since it opened its doors on the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin in July 2000, and because illustrators have put their trust in us, we are now launching a brand new collection dedicated to illustration.

Many artists, both young and established, don’t have a shop, or don’t necessarily have the time to run one: Artazart is offering them visibility through a selection of one or more illustrations.
Artazart aims to democratise the creative output of illustrators by offering the public signed original works in limited editions of just 200 copies. All this at the ultra-affordable price of €32!

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

Céline Dumartin

Originally from southwest France, Céline Dumartin is an illustrator and art director who lives and works in Paris. A graduate of ENSAMAA in object design, she has developed a naïve, colorful universe that immediately puts you in a good mood. She loves animals, laughter, memories, children, colors, good food, dogs, sunshine and vacations. All this influences her illustrations, which she applies to prints, frescoes, pretty objects and embroidered clothes.

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 oriented his artistic work and illustrations towards landscapes. The contrast between city and nature, urbanism and urban wildlife has become his favorite subject. A subject that he never ceases to meticulously put down on paper, using warm colors in vibrant light, true to the world around him.

Elisabeth Fernandes

French graphic designer and illustrator Elisabeth Fernandes lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2021, she created the Bez brand, which combines color, femininity, commitment, quirkiness, impertinence and astonishment. Her illustrative universe is as decorative as it is humorous. Her favorite subjects? Women and food, which she likes to combine in strange, offbeat representations.

Claire Goudeau

Claire Goudeau graduated in Printed Image in 2022 from the Arts Décoratifs de Paris and in Design from ENS Paris-Saclay, a French illustrator and painter. Her dual training introduced her to the pleasures of the printed image, learning printing techniques such as engraving, silkscreening and risography, and introduced her to the world of contemporary publishing. Gradually leaving design to one side, she found in illustration and the creation of printed images an incredible narrative potential, rich in meaning. Inspired by the colors and patterns of her childhood in the Pacific, she illustrates her memories, faithfully transcribing or shaping reality according to her imagination.

 

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, humor, 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.

Julie Guillem

A graduate in illustration from the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Julie Guillem is an illustrator who lives and works in Paris. Today, she works regularly for the press and publishing houses. Using several techniques, including linocut, ink and watercolor, she enjoys playing with color, graphic simplicity and poetry. From hot-air balloon rides to majestic bird flights, her illustrations invite travel and contemplation.

Iris Hatzfeld

Iris Hatzfeld is a French artist and illustrator living in Paris. After a Master’s degree in Art History at the Sorbonne, she left the museum world to devote herself to drawing, which she had been practicing intensively in evening classes. She specialized in animation, then developed a unique, gentle and vibrant illustration technique, using inks and colored pencils in a spontaneous, realistic style. Her recent work distinguishes her as an outstanding portraitist. She works for the press, editorial projects and brands such as Hermès, Bulgari and Chanel…

Morgane Hébert

Parisian “collagiste” artist Morgane Hébert discovered the Dada movement and collage in 2016, and hasn’t left it since! In 2019, she will produce her first commissions, and in 2020, her first collaborations and exhibitions. To create her collages, she hunts down and cuts out magazines and books of all kinds and eras, working on multiple supports: paper, wall, glass frame, etc. She attaches great importance to aesthetics and harmony in her creations, more than to the message. She likes to make images that have nothing to do with each other collide to create stories and inspire the viewer’s imagination.

Agnès Hostache

After working as an art director in advertising, then in an interior design agency, Agnès Hostache now devotes her time exclusively to drawing. Her illustrations show her taste for telling the story of interiors and the lives of their inhabitants, which she has done notably in her two critically acclaimed graphic novels published by Lézard noir. Her first book Nagasaki (adapted from the French novel by Eric Faye) was awarded the ADAGP 2020 revelation prize and selected for Angoulême. She exhibited at Artazart in 2018, then in 2023 the illustrations for E.1027, her second graphic novel.

Enikő Katalin Eged

Enikő Katalin Eged is a Hungarian illustrator, graphic and textile designer who lives and works in Budapest. A graduate of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, her works create illustrated narratives with powerful guidelines and strong atmospheres. Women, nature and animals are her favorite subjects, which she works with a simple graphic language, a juxtaposition of details and a certain symbolism.

La Mona Loca

Trained as a journalist, Alice Vandenbroucke aka La Mona Loca became an illustrator following a solo trip to Mexico in 2020, where she discovered the technique of engraving. In the same year, she joined the Ton Piquant collective and workshop in Brussels, where she expanded her knowledge of various artisanal printing techniques, from linocut and aquatint to risography and monotype. Passionate about colors and textures, she likes to illustrate her experiences with softness and poetry.

Ophélie Lhuire

Ophélie Lhuire holds 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 immerses us in an organic world of rare meticulousness and infectious poetry.

Noémie Malaize

A graduate of the École Estienne in Paris and the Beaux-Arts d’Angers, Noémie Malaize has been a freelance graphic designer since 2017. Her escapades and 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 colored pencils with a cheerful palette, from which this artist likes to pick to keep track of the paths she has taken or draw the next landscapes she dreams of surveying.

Elsa Martino

Elsa Martino is a French artist and muralist who lives and works in Paris. Using her signature primary yet vibrant colors, she expresses herself by illustrating characters with attitudes marked by the 80s and 90s. In her work, she’s not so much concerned with details as with the curves she transcribes in flat tints. Above all, it’s exaggeration, postures and framing that interest her. She creates both digitally and in painting, and often explores new media, large format being her favorite playground.

Capucine Mattiussi

A graduate of Penninghen in art direction and the École de Communication Visuelle (ECV) in Paris, Capucine Mattiussi is an illustrator. Passionate about music, she began working at an early age for music labels, bands and bars. Over time, her various freelance projects enabled her to create her own universe and refine her artistic style, straight out of the rock of the 60s and 70s. His Mediterranean origins also inspire his creations: the water of the sea, the scorching sun of his childhood and the green of Mediterranean palm trees are regularly featured. His inimitable style, made of colors and curved shapes, will not leave you indifferent.
