Vann Nath - Painting the Khmer Rouge (Humanoids 2022)

The true story of the Cambodian painter Vann Nath, who used his art to fight against barbarism and tyranny. In 1978, a young painter named Vann Nath was arrested by the Khmer Rouge, the violent and totalitarian Communist Party of Kampuchea that ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. Imprisoned in the infamous Tuol Sleng prison, better known as S-21, painting became synonymous with survival for him. Ordered, like many Cambodian artists and craftsmen, to put his talent to use to glorify his captors, upon his release he continued painting—this time, to remember and pay tribute to the victims of Pol Pot's regime. by Matteo Mastragostino  (Author), Paolo Castaldi (Author).

I, Dragon

At Rosenthall Castle, everything is ready to celebrate King Belmont's birthday. The artists have just arrived and, one of the members of the troupe waiting for a happy imminent event, the others will ensure the show! But in the vicinity a number of unwanted guests crowded at the gates of Rosenthall: the formidable Troffen and his mercenaries, the volcano Ferona whose jolts make us fear the worst. Indeed, it is whispering that each eruption foreshadows the arrival of a great dragon! 

Juan Gimenez is above all a draftsman. Here is more or less what emerges from the reading of this triptych published in one large volume by Glénat. Let us have a compassionate thought for those who had bought the first volume, edited by Le Lombard and left without follow-up, and then go into the heart of the matter. The scenario, without originality, is a mere pretext for a succession of pictures, scenes full of fury supposed to highlight the particular feature of the author of La Caste des Meta-Barons. Is the result up to par? If we just stick to the visual aspect, surely. Although a sometimes static side and a lack of precision in the faces could possibly be pointed, the final rendering fulfills its role: to put full view. I, Dragon.
