I`m B. (Bastien), a french illustrator based in USA.
I love paradoxes.
Photography and painting, flesh and metal, dead materials and living ones, rust in the light, contrast and chiaroscuro.
My universe is set in a city that talks about all of this, a retro-futuristic city with walls closed. A fallen city, run by a strange corporation which makes "bio-mechanical" his first source of income: Retrocity.
Professionally, I work as an illustrator in the publishing field (Pocket, Fleuve Noir, Gallimard ...) and as artistic director in the internationally reputed gallery "Le Cabinet des Curieux".
I also organize private exhibitions, such as "Les Appartées".
Welcome to my odd world!
B.
