Éclats d'âme #[nn]

Published by Drozophile Editions in 2000, Éclats d'âme ("Splinters of the Soul") is a striking Franco-Belgian work by Lawrence and Exem that announces itself boldly from its very cover. The stark, expressionist artwork presents two figures — a sharp-featured, somber human and a looming, otherworldly companion — rendered in dramatic black, white, and sepia tones against a burst of jagged light. It's a visually arresting introduction to what promises to be a moody, atmospheric collaboration.
