Kim Roselier's Analog Eroticism in a Digital Age

The article profiles 34-year-old Parisian figurative artist Kim Roselier, who works as a painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. Roselier embodies the tension between analog and digital techniques: he uses digital tools for commercial editorial work but returns to traditional media (watercolor, tempera) for personal erotic imagery. His style combines graphic rigor, elegant geometries, and controlled emotion, with sensual curves and humor emerging through uneven, tactile brushstrokes. Notably, his restrained eroticism has led some viewers to mistakenly assume he is female, revealing gender biases in expectations of artistic expression. The piece, by Ferruccio Giromini, was published in Artribune Magazine #57.
