Eric Herenguel

An aviation enthusiast, Éric Hérenguel places his love of mechanics at the heart of The Kong Crew, where aerial battles coexist with meticulously crafted settings, elegant pin-ups, and action scenes worthy of the greatest pulp tales. For this series, the artist brings to life a rich visual universe brimming with humor. Dinosaurs, Amazons and wild creatures roam an abandoned Manhattan, transformed into a playground by the fearsome King Kong. His exceptionally dense inking infuses the story with a breathless pace, blending humor, frenetic action, and the retro atmosphere of the 1940s. A masterful artwork with a dazzling aesthetic. 

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.
