Olivier Pont

Expressive and dynamic, Olivier Pont’s masterful style deploys an undeniable narrative power. He is one of those artists who can captivate the reader with just a few strokes of the pencil: bold framing, frenetic action, meticulously detailed settings, and a cast of unforgettable characters. He stands out for his lively and effective line, in the tradition of great contemporary artists such as Loisel, Mallié, and Vallée. 

To preserve your works on paper, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the mediums used. Paintings made with pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made from pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity.

Olivier Pont was born in 1969. After graduating from the École des Gobelins, Olivier Pont moved to London to work on An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, produced by Spielberg, alongside his childhood friend Georges Abolin.

Between 2005 and 2013, he worked in advertising and directed short films before returning to comic art in 2015 with a collection of seven short stories titled DesSeins followed by Bouts d’ficelles  published in 2018 by Dargaud.
