A course by Alice Des
After working for four years as an illustrators' agent, Alice Des set herself up as an independent artist. She has worked for Clit Revolution, a web series available on France.tv Slash, and the Manuel d'Activisme Féministe, by the same authors. She collaborates with the press (L'Obs, Les Echos, Milk, Dada, Causette) and brands (Adobe, Petrossian, Nicolas, Cluizel, Arte), as well as with the Slow Galerie in Paris where her work is exhibited and sold.
As a socially involved artist, Alice likes to work for projects that make sense. Her graphic universe oscillates between retro aesthetics and modern subjects, spontaneous drawing and the will to simplify, and digital tools and traditional techniques.
