Marc FERRERO transcends the traditional boundaries of visual art and literary narrative to create the first graphic novel in paintings...

L'empire de l'accélération (The Empire of Acceleration), a graphic novel created in paintings by Marc Ferrero, plunges us into an extraordinary visual and intellectual adventure. The fusion of a painted work and narrative in the form of a graphic novel transport us into a world where the struggle against oppression becomes a hymn to freedom. The central idea of this fusion is to create a dialogue between the vertical form of the painting and the horizontal structure of the book. By combining these two elements, Marc FERRERO pushes back the boundaries of creativity, opening up new perspectives for viewers and readers alike. On the one hand, the verticality of painting allows him to explore composition, color, texture and detail in an eye-catching, attention-grabbing format. Vertical canvases offer an imposing presence and create visually captivating works of art. Marc FERRERO can play with dimensions and proportions to create striking visual effects. On the other hand, the horizontality of the book offers a linear narrative structure, a progression that guides readers through a story. The book's pages become a medium for telling this story, using sequences of images that unfold fluidly. Readers can thus follow a visual narrative that unfolds progressively, discovering new elements with every page turned. By combining the verticality of painting and the horizontality of the book, contemporary artist Marc FERRERO creates a complete, immersive artistic experience. Viewers and readers are invited to contemplate the aesthetic aspects of the paintings while following a story that unfolds before them. This creates a rich sensory experience, where the visual and narrative aspects complement and enrich each other.
