Bumping into Serge Bloch



I was on my way back from the swimming pool (26 laps today, yay me!) when I noticed a gallery on rue Dante. Galerie des Arts Graphiques, specializing in illustration, graphic design and bande dessinée, just put a new show up. Serge Bloch, one of my heroes!

"C'était Fatal"
"Un Bon Gars"

If I had 600 euros burning a hole in my pocket, I'd certainly be tempted by this one!

As for the gallery, they've got an interesting fall season lined up including Loustal and Jean Jullien. So I shall certainly be returning — stay tuned!

PS. I was told by the woman running the gallery that La Poste (the French mail service) would be putting out a set of postage stamps designed by Serge Bloch within the next few months. You heard it here first!

  1. Ooooo Maral! I adore his work too.
    I wish it was just around the corner from me . . . thank you for showing some of his works that I hadn't seen. x

  2. Yeah Hazel, it's really great stumbling upon things in this way — you'll see when you come visit! :)
    As for the show, it's very inspiring, and the gallery will be putting up more images on their website in about a week, if you want to see more...

  3. Ah Maral, If La Poste does as is rumored then I will be needing a letter appropriately dressed in the best stamps available. x

  6. Hi, Stel.la—
    I love your blog too, I have been a fan for quite some time! The Serge Bloch expo will be there for about 2 more weeks, until 2 October I think. But they always have good things there....
