At the festival

BilBOlbul presents two artists from the international scene, one Belgian and one American, who have already worked together in self-publishing a comic, in a joint exhibition, that emphasizes their closeness in themes and style. A delicate, fragile line that adapts well to the themes presented, the ability to represent that indefinite time of adolescence, closed and opened all at once, and an amazing use of dialogue brings these geographically distant artists together in poetics.
For the occasion of BilBOlBul 2014 and the presence of the artists, the independent publisher Delebile Edizioni will publish a book of comics written and designed by both de Radiguès and Forsman; these storyboards will be on show during the exhibition.
