Extases #1

Two intertwined figures drift weightlessly through a star-dusted cosmos on JeanLouis Tripp's luminous cover, their bodies rendered with a delicate, painterly grace that feels simultaneously intimate and infinite. Published by Casterman in 2017, Extases announces itself as something quietly daring — the subtitle, "Où l'auteur découvre que le sexe des filles n'a pas la forme d'un x…," hints at a deeply personal, exploratory work. It's a striking opening image that sets an introspective, sensual tone from the very first glance.
