MATTT KONTURE : EXHIBITION & SIGNING IN PARIS, APRIL 14-30

Comics artist and co-founder of L’Association, Matt Konture is exhibiting and signing at Huberty & Breyne gallery in Paris: ’In ’Jean de l’Ours’ - a collaboration with Jacques Velay / Jacob Vallée - Konture applies his skills to something very different, rendering in precise, black and white drawings the trials and tribulations of the eponymous hero of a Pyrenean folk tale, half-bear, half-human. The youthful and ingenuous Jean meets a variety of characters on his travels - neo-rural punks, a pretty shepherdess and her temperamental billy goat, a gluttonous beaver - and must learn to recognise his own strength and control his impulses, and so master his dual nature. The trilogy, begun in 2010, and unlike anything else Mattt Konture has produced before, concludes with this third volume, published in April 2022, and the Huberty & Breyne Gallery is delighted to be showing the totality of plates from ’Jean de l’Ours’, in addition to several punk rock drawings and covers from the magazines Lapin and Jambon blindé. This is an exceptional retrospective focusing on the work of an essential author.’ Private view / Signing session: Thursday 14 April from 5.30pm to 8.30pm.

It would be great to see this 3-book series compiled and translated into English? And here’s the link for all of his comics: ▻https://www.lassociation.fr/en/auteur/konture
Les amis à Paris, je vous conseille de ne pas rater ça. Matt Konture c’est une pointure, et ses dédicaces c’est du grand art.
Sinon, évidemment, si tu es à #Montpellier, Mattt est au boulot quasiment tous les jours à la galerie En traits libres, si tu passes la porte et qu’il est bien là, il te fera des dédicaces rien que pour toi :
