Perpendiculaire au soleil #[nn]

Published by Delcourt/Encrages in 2022, this striking French graphic work from Valentine Cuny-Le Callet announces itself with an arresting woodcut-style cover: a man's face rendered in stark black and white, framed by an intricate tangle of branches and leaves that seem to grow from and around him. The raw, sculptural linework gives the image a powerful, almost elemental presence — nature and humanity intertwined in a way that feels both grounded and urgent. A deeply considered piece of visual storytelling before you've even opened the cover.
