Mathieu - Lot 182

Mathieu MARC-ANTOINE MATHIEU JULIUS CORENTIN ACQUEFACQUES Le Processus (T.3), Delcourt 1993 Original plate no. 2. Signed. India ink on paper 26.52 × 35.6 cm (10.432 × 14.02 in.) Julius Corentin Acquefacques by Marc-Antoine Mathieu is a series that constantly plays between metaphysics and formal experimentation. The hero, a civil servant in a Kafkaesque world, moves between dream and reality, pushing the limits of the medium: missing squares, looped narratives, 3D effects... A brilliant, inventive work that questions the mechanisms of fiction. We admire his black-and-white style - still very much influenced by Tardi - and his point of view, which manages to take in the whole piece in a single glance.
