– Enter the confusing universe of Dominique Bertail, the designer of the series Ghost Money, scripted by Thierry Smolderen.
– Very nice introduction with a little history of fashion. We discover the author as a real stylist! Period clothing, costumes, uniforms for Shandy, a real feast for the eyes where elegance is by far the key word!
– Then Bertail opens the doors to his eclectic universe: landscapes, cowboys, portraits of his contemporaries and his fellow comic book authors, dedications to Shandy, tributes to Blueberry, Thorgal, Male Call or Prince Valiant… You will have it understood, this sketchbook is full of sketches of all kinds!
– His drawing is precise, his line nervous and powerful, we go from one technique to another (oil pastels, watercolors, sketches, digital paintings), from one universe to another, from the majestic to the incredibly oppressive. The search for atmosphere is omnipresent, the atmospheres with stunning gray felt-tip pens, the work on the breathtaking light!
– We are moved, touched by the sensitivity of this multi-talented artist!
