François Schuiten Exhibition of 'Sur les chemins noirs' Illustrations Extended at Galerie Gallimard

Galerie Gallimard is presenting an exhibition of original drawings by Belgian illustrator François Schuiten, created for Sylvain Tesson's book 'Sur les chemins noirs.' The display features 30 original works made using the scratchboard technique, alongside personal documents from both the artist and author. Originally scheduled to conclude on April 18, the exhibition has been extended through May 7, 2026. The show coincides with the release of a special limited edition of Tesson's work, which chronicles his 2015徒步 journey across France undertaken as personal recovery following a near-fatal accident in 2014. Schuiten's illustrations visually trace Tesson's narrative from darkness toward light. Additional exhibition elements include two limited edition art prints (30 copies each) and two serigraphs (50 copies each), available for exclusive purchase at the gallery. François Schuiten is an acclaimed comic artist known for series like 'Les Cités obscures' and recipient of Angoulême's Grand Prix in 2002. The accompanying publication measures 19.5 × 24.8 cm, contains 168 pages with 43 illustrations, and is priced at 35€.
