Difficult to escape the line ofAurel. The Montpellier designer, Caesarized in 2021 for the animated film Josepcrunches the news for Politis, The Chained Duck And The world. On March 24, he will publish The Three Lives of Arminé, a documentary comic, which led him, with his friend Fredo from the Ogres of Barback, in the footsteps of an Armenian woman with an extraordinary career. But Aurel exhibits, too.
Until July 29, the Hérault artist puts down his kit in Pierresvives, in Montpellier. The media library invites the curious to relive Aurel’s career, through works inspired by his other passion: music. We discover his early years, during which he had set up a jazz group with friends, the Flyin’ Pelardon.
Unreleased tracks by Ibrahim Maalouf and Magyd Cherfi
But above all, the exhibition brings together drawings by Massilia Sound System, Django Reinhardt, John Lennon or Bob Dylan, album covers, festival posters, unpublished sketches… And press cartoons where he does not spare Madonna or Michael Jackson.
The little extra of this course is that you can listen, thanks to headphones, throughout the visit, to pieces that Ibrahim Maalouf or Magyd Cherfi have composed especially for the event. You would be wrong to deprive yourself of it. Especially since it’s free.
