AGideas
Michel Bouvet is a French graphic artist who has a particular approach to his work. During the AGideas conference he said that the most common things he include in his works are animals, fruits, vegetables. He is a big fan of pop-art. Inspired by natural things and fed with what he sees, his style is very unusual. He stated that sometimes he asks himself if he is not too figurative with the work he does. It is also noticeable that his works are more likely art than design. The drawings that he does consist of thick black outlines. Likewise, he uses not too many elements in his pieces. For example, his posters are always simple with one or two imagery on which the emphasis is put.
This poster consists of bananas, bean and peas. The inspiration of this piece comes from pop- art. The textures used remind us of the Lichtenstein textures. As I stated above, Bouvet's artwork usually consists of drawings with thick black stroke. Also, it consists of only one drawing which occupies the whole page.
The second piece was used for Les Rencontres photographiques d'Arles and the challenge for Bouvet was not to use photography. This poster was perfect for the event. A metaphor va être pimenté et chaud which means that Arles will be spicy and hot as a chilli was used in the design. the Bouvet used the exact colours of Arles which was great as he managed to give the exact tones to the poster. He stated that it took him six hours to get the perfect colour match and tone.
