Schuiten/Original drawing symbolically illustrating a hand held back by barbed wire that manages to get through a wall... a powerful work created for the French newspaper Libération in January 2008 about the situation in Gaza, which is unfortunately still relevant today. India ink, watercolor and grease pencil. Signed. TBE+. Pass included: 58 X 45 cm François Schuiten (1956) was just 16 when his drawings were published for the first time: "Mutation", a short story drawn entirely in bic, appeared in the Belgian edition of Pilote. At the Institut Saint-Luc comics workshop, he met Claude Renard, with whom he produced two albums: Aux médianes de Cymbiola and Le Rail, published by Casterman under the title Métamorphoses. Over the years, he and his brother Luc developed the "Terres creuses" cycle in Métal Hurlant. Since 1982, he has been working with his childhood friend Benoît Peeters on the "Les Cités obscures" series. These albums have been translated into ten languages and won numerous awards. It remains considered one of the major series of recent decades. The album La Fièvre d'Urbicande won the Best Album award at the Angoulême Festival in 1985. In 2002, François Schuiten was awarded the Grand Prix de la Ville d'Angoulême, the ultimate accolade for any cartoonist. He has designed a dozen stamps for the Belgian postal service. He has also designed countless posters, illustrations, serigraphs and lithographs. In 2019, he produced a new album of the adventures of Blake and Mortimer for Dargaud, but on the bangs of the series. A special edition in a style completely different from that of Edgar P. Jacobs, one of his great masters. A Blake et Mortimer à la Schuiten, with the help of Thomas Gunzig on the script (and to a lesser extent Jaco Van Dormael) and the Durieux brothers for their graphic contributions and coloring. In parallel with this project, François Schuiten is part of the ScanPyramids mission led by engineer Mehdi Tayoubi. This is a scientific expedition to Egypt where archaeologists and other specialists descend to the center of Khéops to unravel the mystery of the largest of the pyramids, the only vestige of the Seven Wonders of the World.
