DAVID MERVEILLE 

David Merveille is a draughtsman and illustrator from Brussels. His drawings are tinged with nostalgia, slightly offbeat and always poetic. His drawings are tinged with nostalgia, slightly offbeat and always poetic. He was greatly inspired by the world of Jacques Tati. This has resulted in a wide range of works, including several children's books, numerous posters and a collection of illustrations for the complete Tati collection (Critérion, 2014). Since 1992, he has regularly exhibited his work and organised numerous group shows for the Maison de l'Image Seed Factory and the Huberty & Breyne Gallery. After working in the press, advertising and children's publishing, David Merveille turned to comics in collaboration with scriptwriter Zidrou. This co-creation gave rise to two albums bathed in Amalfi sunshine: Amore (2021) and Alessia (2024), published by Delcourt. Italy, the land of his ancestors, never ceases to inspire him. His recent exhibition of charcoal drawings in tribute to Marcello Mastroianni (Huberty & Breyne, 2024) is the most recent demonstration of this.

Atlantic12 is delighted to be working with David Merveille, a talented draughtsman and image-maker, to present his latest work in a series of drawings that plunge us into Paris and Brussels in a graphic style that is always meticulous and wonderfully poetic. His drawings are reproduced in digigraphy on beautiful Hahnemühle paper by the Numeris®Art studios, and all the prints are limited editions, numbered and signed.
