Cassegrain & Nocq Exhibition

With Fred Duval as scriptwriter, Didier Cassegrain offers a superb comic art adaptation of Michel Bussi's masterpiece: Nymphéas noirs. The story, linked to the world of painter Claude Monet, takes place in the bucolic setting of the village of Giverny. A luminous and breathless thriller, perfectly rendered by the artist's bold lines and superb acrylic coloring enhanced with pencil. In the style of an impressionist, Cassegrain works each page like a painting, offering a feast of colors and sumptuous plays of light. The exhibition will also unveil a selection of original pages and illustrations from his eagerly awaited upcoming Conan album, Les Clous rouges (written by Hautière & Vatine), as well as artworks created especially for the gallery, the result of a three-month work on Tao Bang (published by Delcourt) and the Pin Up universe.

The Daniel Maghen Gallery is also proud to present the artwork of the talented Gaétan Nocq based on his latest album, Le Rapport W (published by Daniel Maghen), a comic art adaptation of the document entitled Le Rapport Pilecki, written in 1945 by the Pole Witold Pilecki. Nocq tells the story of this cavalry captain, a member of the Polish underground army, who voluntarily interned himself in Auschwitz in September 1940 to organize a resistance network and stage an uprising. It is a terrible story, which he handles remarkably well through delicate artworks and a subtle use of color that punctuates the entire album.

La galerie Daniel Maghen est également fière de présenter le travail du talentueux Gaétan Nocq autour de son dernier album, Le Rapport W (éd. Daniel Maghen), l’adaptation en BD du document intitulé Le Rapport Pilecki rédigé en 1945 par le Polonais Witold Pilecki. Nocq raconte l’histoire de ce capitaine de cavalerie, membre de l’armée secrète polonaise, volontairement interné au camp d’Auschwitz en septembre 1940 pour organiser un réseau de résistance et créer un soulèvement. Une histoire terrible qu'il traite remarquablement à travers un dessin délicat et un subtil jeu de couleurs rythmant l’album dans son intégralité.
