Nothing Beats A Good Blade : Exhibition Montreal/Tokyo

Concept : ”Nothing beats a good blade” is an exhibition of original drawings depicting the avatar of the artist Alexandre “Osmoze” Brakha in an unreal and imperceptible world where Zen poetry meets giant and destructive monsters. This new work also represents the evolution of his graphic style, going from a simple and round character to a more de¬tailed and artistically assertive one. The goal of the exhibition is to present an uncluttered vision of this character of which the universe is an extrapolation of ours. Mixing the codes of manga and comic book, the 28 drawings are an invitation to share the artist’s struggle between his love for precise lining and a more dynamic style of composition. Contained of the exhibition : • 28 original drawings will be displayed. Characteristics: 21 x 29.7cm format. Black and red ink on 135gr white bristol paper, imported from Japan (manga specific paper). • A single original 18 x 24 inches serigraphy, signed. This will be the only piece reworked in vector, containing dithering and color gradient. This artwork will show another aspect of the artist’s graphic work. In collaboration with Beans&Bacon. • A large and customized lamp with a rabbit’s head shape representing Osmoze’s logo. The lamp will display the sketches used during the creation process and will welcome visitors at the entrance of the exhibition. In col¬laboration with Turn Me On
