Raphaël Zarka – Riding Modern Art
Client: Éditions B42 | Year: 2017 | book design | In collaboration with studio deValence
Riding Modern Art brings together a collection of 70 black and white photographs of people skateboarding on sculptures in public spaces. Through his study of the process of appropriation and reuse of works of art in public places, used by skateboarders as further challenges for their sport, Raphaël Zarka offers a way of approaching a work of art that underlines the dynamism of modern sculpture, casting a critical light on the idea of movement in these often abstract and geometric works, inspired by Cubist, Futurist or Constructivist art. The skateboarder’s approach to a sculpture, more mechanical than conceptual, brings out the variety of movement it seeks to suggest. While it is not possible to “freeze” or represent movement in a solid form (it cannot be sculpted) it is, nevertheless, a constituent element of the work, as also is space. Thus, the body of the skateboarder becomes a choreographic form on a sculptural form, and the presence of a human body on a work of art transforms it from something perched on a pedestal into a living sculpture. Some images are missing from this collection, as sculptors have refused to see their artwork reproduced. The spaces dedicated to those photographs remain purposely empty.

Client: Cité Royale de Loches | Year: 2016 | identity, programs, posters & signage | In collaboration with Célestin Krier
For an exhibition about knights at the Cité Royale of Loches (France), illustrator Célestin Krier and I joined forces to design the identity, signage and overall communication. Based on a simple but striking heraldic palette, the identity takes advantage of a strong typographic treatment (Infini, by Sandrine Nugue) paired with Krier’s iconic style of illustrations. Bold and playful!

École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon
Client: Ensba Lyon | Year: 2013–2015 | visual identity | In collaboration with Radim Peško and Fabrice Mabime
The redesign of the visual identity of Lyon’s national fine arts school rests on two axes of exploration: time/color and space/typography. These two axes are guided by a concept of ductibility resulting in a series of subtle variations, the basic principle of this identity. The color red and its infinite variations are the backbone of the identity, evolving with time, printing or display techniques and the seasons. The Ensba and Ensba Mono fonts, which were designed specifically for the school’s identity, emphasize the architectural dimension of the page and are an immediate signature, even when used in the simplest and most direct way.
Prix de Paris / Prix Jean Chevalier
Client: ENSBA Lyon | Year: 2014 | invitation cards
Invitation cards for two Art prices taking place at the National Superior School of Fine Arts in Lyon in 2014. There were four different visuals for each event playing with the idea of variation, tools and textures. The identity’s red color was different on every single card as we changed the color and its intensity during the printing process.

Client: Synagogue de Delme | Year: 2018 | vinyl sleeve | In collaboration with studio deValence

La Perruque – nº1
Client: Surfaces Utiles / La Perruque | Year: 2015 | specimen design
La Perruque publishes and distributes type specimens. Printed on the margins of offset prints, each issue of La Perruque presents a unique typeface. Altogether, the issues weave a thread between type designers and graphic designers’ contributions. Invited by Olivier Bertrand (Surfaces Utiles), I had the honour to kick it off by quoting the beginnings of Philip K. Dick’s short-novel “Pay for the printer” (the former name of La Perruque). Especially drawn for La Perruque, my Grotex Micro font is put to the test, from 4 to 30pt type-size. The text develops itself as the story unfolds, along strange marks and glitches extracted from pages scanned by Google Books.
