At the Centre Pompidou’s “Bande Dessinée, 1964-2024” retrospective, you can admire works by Philippe Druillet, one of the leading French authors of futuristic comics. Since Le mystère des abîmes, his first book published in 1966, Philippe Druillet has been one of the French cartoonists who revolutionized science fiction comics.
Beginning with the advent of the counter-culture in the 1960s, this exhibition looks back at the modern and contemporary history of the ninth art in its three main areas of expression: European creation, Asian manga and American comics.
Creating links between different authors, the “Comics, 1964-2024” exhibition allows visitors to discover their creative processes, while grouping them around common themes present in their works, such as memory, dreams and anticipation. This retrospective also focuses on the emotions conveyed by comics, and on the artistic techniques specific to each artist.
This is what Philippe Druillet says in the podcast Visites d’expos, in which he looks back on his mythical works and discusses his technique and influences.
“So I have a technique that isn’t really a technique, but I go into a trance. I’m not in control at all and I let myself be guided. I break from the real world − phone calls or whatever − and I enter another world, and that’s where it develops.”
“That’s what is so interesting about science fiction, developing human behaviour and the ways in which we create and destroy.”
