Since 2013, the French comic artist Jeremy Perrodeau has created a unique and coherent body of work, characterised above all by its rhythm and a particular geometry and sense of adventure. With his contemplative and reflective science fiction, he explores the course of a narrative as well as our relationship with the great myths or the environment. Book after book, he continues to expand his graphic and narrative vocabulary, claiming a permanent place in contemporary science fiction literature with his exciting works.

Perrodeau studied visual communication in Paris, initially worked as a graphic designer and realised numerous projects for the renowned Parisian Studio deValence. He also produced small fanzines, which he published himself, and gradually moved into comics and illustration.

Born in 1988 between Nantes and the sea on the edge of the forest, Jeremy Perrodeau finds his inspiration in the vast landscapes of nature, which reflects in his comics. This is also ecoed in the exhibition, centred around four of his books. "Isles, La Grande Odyssée" (2013), a black-and-white story without text, already features some distinct characteristics of his work: surreal and mysterious worlds of fascinating beauty, which also have something threatening about them. With "Crépuscule" / "Twilight" (2017), Perrodeau presented his first science fiction story. On a planet with an artificial biosphere created by humans, nature is spiralling out of control and time is going crazy. A team of researchers flown in to the hermetic new world has to contend with phenomena that are as strange as they are dangerous. Depicted in bright neon colours, Perrodeau takes up the major themes of our time - the apocalyptic, psychedelic world seems frighteningly close to the present. In the psychological thriller "Le Long des ruines" / "Ruins" (2021), psychiatrist and elite soldier Samuel F. Monroe enters the brains of coma patients as a healer to travel through their mental landscapes like virtual worlds and to bring them back to reality. Most recently, Jeremy Perrodeau impressed audiences with "Le Visage de Pavil" / "Pavil's Face" (2023). When Pavil lands on a remote island, he is greeted with suspicion by the inhabitants. Is he a spy for the all-powerful empire - what does he really want in this isolated society?
