Rio #2

The second volume of Louise Garcia and Corentin Rouge's Rio series opens with a cover that immediately commands attention: a towering figure dominates the foreground, armed with both a submachine gun and a revolver, while two more armed figures stand at a distance against a sweeping backdrop of favela rooftops under a blazing sky. Rouge's artwork captures the raw, sun-drenched tension of Rio's hillside communities with striking clarity and compositional confidence. De Ogen van de Favela — "The Eyes of the Favela" — promises a story deeply embedded in this complex urban landscape.
