Artist Talk
Christophe Blain is one of France's most talented and versatile comic artists. His repertoire ranges from westerns and political satire to non-fiction comics. But Blain also works intensively with various printing techniques. He commissions specialists to print his colorful experiments as large-format, expressive lithographs on historical machines. During a tour of the exhibition, curator Anette Gehrig talks to the artist about his work and approach.
