Poster for the season 2020-2021 of the Théâtre Paul Éluard, in Bezons.

Born in Russia, André Pavlovski (1891-1961) brought modernism to basque architecture in the 1930s. For its first publication, I proposed to Kantia editor, based in Saint-Jean-de-Luz (in a beautiful Pavlovski house) to imagine a series of poster inspired by his most emblematic work, the Harbor Lights of the city. Two asymetrical towers, on both sides of the port, one in white and red (Saint-Jean) the other in white and green (Ciboure). I studied Pavlovsky architecural vocabulary, made of flat asymetrical surfaces and geometry, and proposed a complex graphic system to produce a series of posters. 4 compositions present one view of Saint-Jean, one of Ciboure, and two of both harbor lights, in 3 colors : Blue, Red and Green. Blue defines the sky and the silhouettes of the buildings : printed in split fountain, it evolves from dawn to dusk. The composition allows green and red colors to be combined upside up and upside down, to reveal several views of the harbors, and create imaginary ones. In one single print-run, 168 different posters were produced with Lézard Graphique, in Brumath. Some posters are still available at www.kantia.eu.

In October 2014, The Scène nationale de Besançon became Les 2 Scènes : two theaters, l’Espace and le Théâtre Ledoux, joined in a single institution. The Posters of the season 2014-2015 are made with the same typefaces and color palette, with 2 rectangles moving in the format.

Booksters are books to hang on the wall: the full text of great literature novels are printed on a single poster. Parisian agency Maartin developed the collection, using Minuscule typeface I designed, which is highly legible in very small sizes. They asked me to design one poster, and I chose Gulliver by Jonathan Swift : an obvious choice, which becomes a giant specimen for my typeface. Texts goes from 350 pt to 1 pt size.

Annual poster of Hangar 23, a theater in Rouen dedicated to dance, theater, circus and world / urban music. In 2015, the theater moved to a completely different place : a beautiful baroque chapelle. The identity evolved, introducing metallic colors and rounded shapes.

Posters for the season 2012-2013 of the Scène nationale de Besançon. For this 2nd season, the plaette is a bit broader : I added a neon yellow to the blue / red pair.

Posters for the season 2020-2021 of Les 2 Scènes. Unfortunately, most of the shows were cancelled, because of the sanitary situation. Typeset in Album Sans

A series of trimestrials posters for Ici l’Onde, for the season 2015-2016. Posters are printed in duotone, plus one big picture on the back, which appears when backlit. Spectacular solid colors are used : reflex blue, warm red, chrome, gold or copper.

All the posters of the Theater are constructed from circles, in 2 colors. These abstract compositions evoke, rather than illustrate, the works. The solid colors correspond to the different disciplines.

The photography for the 2013 edition attempts to capture the movement of ink, diluted in water, which escapes from the text.
