With boundless imagination, French artist Rebecca Dautremer creates captivating worlds and characters captured on the pages of picture books highly coveted by adults and children alike.  With well over a dozen books to her credit in the past fifteen years, she oftentimes reworks classic tales or folklore such as in Cyranno (images below) or Babayaga.  The pages contain endearing and unique subtleties that are a result of the artist working closely with the writers throughout the process of book production.  At times Dautremer has even taken on the role of writer herself or in collaboration with her husband Taï-Marc Le Thanh.  Her imagery possesses a deep sense of intrigue and even melancholy as she employs gouache and sometimes oils.  Dautremer has also recently brought her storytelling and design talents to the animation, Kerity: La Maison des Contes, directed by Dominique Monféry.

We are pleased to be featuring original work by the artist in the upcoming exhibition Enchanté
