Visages at 12Mail

Curious comic-art exhibition at Red Bull's Parisian art space...

Ever a brand to have their fingers in many a creative pie, Red Bull opened up the alternative Parisian art space, 12Mail, at the end of 2009. The gallery – curated by DJ/label-boss/blogger/insomniac Guillaume Sorge – have had many a hit since then; the latest being Visages (Faces), a curious examination of illustrated mugs. Some 18 leading illustrators and cartoonists are included in the exhibition curated by journalist and comic-art expert, Joseph Ghosn – and with the focus on subject, as opposed to style, there’s a thoroughly compulsive melting pot of illustration techniques on show…

Visages is a group exhibition and publication curated by Joseph Ghosn; with drawings by Charles Berberian, Theo Ellsworth, Charles Burns, Philippe Dupuy, Sammy Harkham, Frederic Fleury, Blutch, Frédérique Rusch, Paul Hornschemeier, Caroline Andrieu, Antico Nine, Serge Clerc Frederick Poincelet, Antoine Marquis, Julien Carreyn, Emmanuelle Pidoux, Fanny Michaelis, Ludovic Debeurme and Michael Deforge. It runs at Red Bull’s 12Mail, Paris until 30th March.
