Sisyphe - Les joies du couple #[nn]

From Atrabile's 2016 catalogue comes this French-language graphic work by Aurélie William Levaux — Sisyphe: Les joies du couple ("The Joys of Coupledom"). The cover art, rendered in Levaux's distinctly handcrafted, almost textile-like style, centers on a woman in a folk-patterned dress seated beside an ornate canopied bed, while a man in a green jacket leans toward her against a backdrop of vivid dripping color and splashes of bright paint. It's an intimate, slightly surreal tableau that promises the kind of wry, emotionally honest look at domestic relationships that makes Levaux one of francophone alternative comics' most distinctive voices.
