Au-delà des mers #[nn]

A young child in a rust-red jacket stands small but resolute against a swirling sea of stylized fish rendered in cool blues and grays — Alain Kokor's cover for this 2015 Futuropolis album sets a quietly dreamlike, oceanic mood from the very first glance. The title Au-delà des mers ("Beyond the Seas") promises a journey into something vast and mysterious, and Kokor's delicate, watercolor-tinged linework gives the whole image a poetic stillness that draws you in.
