Le monde de Zhou Zhou

In Le monde de Zhou Zhou, Belgian artist and writer Brecht Evens crafts a quietly surreal, watercolor-rich series for Casterman that follows a young girl navigating a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur with dreamlike ease. Spanning six issues from 2017 to 2021, this intimate, visually stunning work showcases Evens’s signature use of luminous color and fluid, expressive linework to explore childhood perception, loneliness, and the strange beauty of everyday encounters. A distinctive entry in contemporary European comics, it stands as a testament to Evens’s ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
