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.

A graduate of Camberwell College of Arts in London and the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg, illustrator Antoine Corbineau is often featured on the front page of Libé, the New York Times and Télérama.

With his eye for detail, his sense of humor and his colorful universe, you may have noticed him…
His world, that of spatial representation, can be found in his books: “Séries TV : le grand jeu” and “Les villes du monde” published by Milan. In 2018, he exhibited “Villes & Séries” on the banks of the canal…

A 2015 graduate of the Typographic Design master’s program at ECV, Léa Maupetit is a young illustrator who lives and works in Paris.

Using gouache and acrylic, she creates a colorful, joyful and humorous universe where dogs, doves and elephants with glasses smile at life. Café terraces and markets resound with the echoes of precious moments, and the sun shines on nature and its fruits…

Léa exhibited at Artazart, “un printemps coloré” in 2018.

Gaspard de Lalune was born in Bordeaux in 1876. He began his career as an artist in 1898, and is said to have participated in the DADA movement before the Surrealist discord. An author and thinker, he used puns and deliberately absurd approximations to escape the gravity of life. Combining engravings and typography, his ambition was to revolutionize the way society thought at the time. He panache with poetry, potty humor and incandescent aesthetics. Often with his head in the moon and eyebrow raised, he nevertheless keeps his feet on the ground, loves croissants and says “chocolatine”.
He’s a man who fights for the best and for laughter. Not a drunken alcoholic, he enjoys the passing of time like an epicurean, desperately seeking meaning in life, knowing full well that life has no meaning…

Artazart exhibited “Les Pieds sur Terre” in 2018.
