Hans #12

A blonde figure clings precariously to curved, sweeping architectural forms that spiral vertiginously into impossible depths — Kas's cover for Le pays des Abysses immediately pulls you into a world of dizzying, organic-futuristic structures bathed in cool blues and warm reds. The composition plays brilliantly with scale and perspective, with the solitary figure dwarfed by colossal curved surfaces while what appears to be a distant craft or figure hovers far above. Published by Le Lombard in 2000, this twelfth volume of Hans pairs André-Paul Duchâteau's storytelling with Kas's striking visual architecture for what promises to be a genuinely unsettling descent.
