POSTER 30x40 cm VOUTCH CELLAR

"I'm always wary of the first idea. But less than the second. »Voutch (Olivier Chapougnot) has been looking for ideas all his life, after all. First as a creative in advertising for around fifteen years, then as a cartoonist, from 1997. His first book, Tout s’arrange, même mal, which he produced at his own expense, was a complete financial fiasco (its cost price was higher than its sale price!)but quickly attracts the attention of the press. Marie-Claire Pauwels gave him a page in Madame Figaro, soon imitated in this by Playboy, Le Point and Psychologies. For Voutch – as for the cartoonists of the New Yorker, whom he has always admired – humorous drawing is the ideal way to talk about the evolutions of our society and to highlight its paradoxes and absurdities. Voutch composes his drawings in color and gouache (in what he himself calls a potato) and his characters with generally thin and elongated noses characterize his graphic style. He has published around ten books of his drawings as well as four children's albums which have been, without exception, great successes in bookstores.
