To mark the release of this new album, Jeanne Macaigne is exhibiting illustrations from the book and her personal work at Artazart, from October 20 to December 11, 2022.

Vernissage and book signing on Thursday, October 20, 2022!

One Sunday afternoon, Nena, sighs over her fate as a child (the grass always seems greener elsewhere!) and proposes to a little ant trotting on her hand to change skin with her. The child discovers the difficult, laborious life of the ant farm, with its joys and sorrows. For her part, the ant settles into the comfortable life of a child, who goes to school every day and becomes part of human society… Each explores the other’s life, changing scale, one suddenly so small in a huge world, the other lost in a world she struggles to understand. This becomes difficult when they want to change things, to bring a little ant-like rigor to the classroom or a little human poetry to the anthill…

Filled with details, funny and tender, Jeanne Macaigne’s images carry us away. The illustrator sometimes flirts with the comic strip and enjoys contrasting these two universes that everything opposes.

Jeanne Macaigne

Jeanne Macaigne is a graduate of the Arts Décoratifs de Paris. She currently lives and works in Marseille, drawing her inspiration as much from her artistic practices (theater, dance, clowning) as from her cultural influences – she has lived in Istanbul and Reunion Island.

She regularly draws for the press (Revue XXI, Alternatives Économiques, Le Temps, Libération etc.) and is the author and illustrator of several books: L’hiver d’Isabelle and Les coiffeurs des étoiles (éditions MeMo), Changer d’air (éditions Les Fourmis Rouges), Un Drôle de Lundi (éditions Seuil jeunesse).

Attached to evoking our relationship with others and the world around us, she writes and draws as a poet what surrounds her, as well as her inner world, in hypnotic, colorful images of striking beauty. You won’t be able to resist her madcap style and unbridled imagination!
