Capitaine Lapin, official air and space painter

"His father, an aeronautical technician, gave him a taste for tarmacs and zincs. He took flying lessons and obtained his pilot's license at age 18. (…) His work around aeronautics is a real work of immersion and long-term encounters. He draws from life and collects comments which he annotates alongside legends that are as precise as they are effective. The liveliness of his notebooks keeps us in suspense throughout the pages. His works are neither comic strips nor reports, but diaries revealing to us the singularity of his outlook."
