Stepping into Jean Follain’s universe through illustrated poetry

Stepping into Jean Follain’s universe through illustrated poetry The assignment: to illustrate the poems from the 20th century surrealist poet Jean Follain, for the 2nd volum of “Jean Follain: Tout fait événement / pour qui sait frémir.“ The challenges: translate Jean Follain’s surrealist poetry by interpreting temporal transitions (past, present, future) and visually representing the poem’s metaphors and characters through illustrations. The style is realistic with a historical touch, evocative of museum art, and incorporates narrative and symbolic elements. Do you also have an upcoming printed project?
