“Agnès Hostache here appropriates a literary story, that of Eric Faye, and takes her reader along in a singular graphic adaptation that breaks free from the traditional codes of comics. Her interpretation, with a singular aesthetic thanks to a subtle painting, plunges us into Japan, at the heart of two interiorities. It's a wonderful first album! "
The jury also gave a special mention to Mikaël Ross for his album “Learning to fall”, published by Sarbacane editions (September 2019). This author has created, as part of a commissioned work, "a personal comic strip supported by a certain writing force and a great sense of dialogue".
Agnès Hostache receives an ADAGP endowment of 5,000 euros. Her work will also be presented on the walls of the ADAGP.
The two winners will benefit from a portrait filmed and broadcast on the Arte website.
