Using gouache or acrylic, illustrator Agnès Hostache likes to transcribe the little things of everyday life, those scenes made up of tiny 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 artistic movement of the 1920s-1930s), her artistic approach is based on modesty and sincerity.

Exhibited in 2016 in the Naochima archipelago, the Japanese island dedicated to contemporary art, and at the Illustre Boutique in 2017, Agnès Hostache is currently working on a graphic novel to be published in September 2019.

At the end of her brush, fantasy, tenderness and that infinite lightness that we’d like to keep in our homes forever.

An exhibition to discover by the canal from September 14 to October 15, 2018
