Alexis Chabert
Guest at the Festival Livres & Musiques 2017
Alexis Chabert is interested in all forms of drawing, that's why he likes to change his style so much, to put the drawing on the scenario. He always aspires to explore new artistic worlds.
After a brief stay at the Beaux-Arts de Versailles, which disappointed him, Alexis decided to enroll at the Conservatoire National de Région de Rueil-Malmaison with the aim of becoming a contemporary music composer while teaching classical guitar. A fortuitous opportunity led him to work in a graphic studio where he made his debut as a roughman illustrator. At the same time, he realized comic book projects, one of which caught the attention of Delcourt: the story of Huguette, an old woman harassed by a junkie in the slums of Courbevoie. This scenario not being in the editorial line of the time, the project will never see the day and Alexis will sign a fantastico-medieval series (Rogon le Leu) with Didier Convard. He participates with Frédéric Lenoir in the realization of gags in one page in the magazine "Le Monde des Religions". He also published Bourbon Street, La faute, une vie en Corée du Nord and Louis de Funès.
Gainsbourg - Editions Jungle :
Son of Russian emigrants, Serge Gainsbourg revolutionized the French variety of the seventies. His deliberately commercial approach, born of his own failure in the text-based song, turned the codes of popular song upside down.
This rage to win his place in a field that was not his own will have burned his wings as surely as he gave us masterpieces.
Immense poet drowning in alcohol his childhood dreams, Serge Gainsbourg is one of those men who remind us that the ambiguity of feelings is without exit.
