“Les Absents” (Issue Cover)
Artist Statement: These works presents several works from Cécile Gonneau’s ongoing series, Ghosts of the Forest. We discover a lush, almost dreamlike landscape from which enigmatic white silhouettes emerge. Turning towards us, these silent presences seem to question our gaze, while stubbornly keeping their own. Through this project, Cécile Gonneau offers both an ode to the wild beauty of the plant world and a meditation on memory, buried memories, and the ghosts that populate our past.
Cécile Gonneau is a French illustrator based in Belgium. In her black and white drawings, she unfolds an intense and mysterious universe, both sensitive and inhabited. Her preferred tool, the fineliner, allows her to render lush environments rich in detail with great naturalistic precision. Find more on her website.
