In the heart of the exhibition rooms of the Museum of Fine Arts, three young illustrators will engage in the exercise of reproducing in their own way one of the Museum’s works under the watchful eye of visitors.
These three talented illustrators, with very distinct worlds, are Suzanne Arhex, Fred Bernard and François Roca have accepted this challenge and you can watch them live for three times: Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon.
Fred Bernard was born in 1969 in Beaune, Burgundy. With François Roca, his accomplice from the École Émile-Cohl in Lyon, he publishes many albums, often award-winning. He also published On nous a coupé les ailes with Émile Bravo. In adult comic, he writes and illustrates a saga of several volumes, Jeanne Picquigny at Casterman, and has just illustrated in 2021, Idiss, with Richard Malka at Rue de Sèvres, from the eponymous novel of Robert Badinter. His very personal Carnet d'un voyageur immobile dans un petit jardin was released in June 2020 at Albin Michel. He lives in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
François Roca was born in Lyon. He studied in Paris at the École nationale des arts appliqués Olivier-de-serres, then in Lyon at the École Émile-Cohl. Painter and illustrator for more than twenty years, he images the texts of Fred Bernard, with which he builds an imaginary universe renewed with each album, the most recent of which are King Kong and The Curse of the Golden Ring at Albin Michel. He published with Charlotte Moundlic A l'ombre de Barbe bleue in 2020. His paintings are regularly exhibited in galleries.
Suzanne Arhex is an author, illustrator and painter in film and theatre settings. After studying illustration in Brussels and Reykjavik, she co-founded and edited the monthly youth magazine Biscoto until 2016. In parallel, she collaborated on the fanzine Cuistax and published several albums including La guerre des bisous by Vincent Cuvellier and Massime, a fly hunter with Giboulées. In spring 2022, Winds of Peace, illustrated by Jonathan Blezard, will be released at Helium.
