Ophélie et les directeurs des ressources humaines #[nn]

A striking close-up face — rendered in stark, gestural black and white — dominates the cover of this 2000 Frémok release, the raw, almost expressionist brushwork giving the image an unsettling emotional intensity. Eric Lambé's Ophélie et les directeurs des ressources humaines announces itself with a visual language that feels closer to fine-art printmaking than conventional comics, which is exactly what makes it so compelling. If you're drawn to work that pushes the boundaries of what the medium can look and feel like, this is one to seek out.
