Julien Ceccaldi uses a fatalistic and genre-bending style—influenced by his early exposure to anime that aired on France Télévisions in the 1990s, the transgressive shōjo manga of the Year 24 group, and the autobiographical comics of Aline Kominsky-Crumb. His work amalgamates the discomfort, melodrama, and romance of contemporary social life into shrewdly observed drawing, painting, and sculpture. Despite the smooth circulation promised by slick media technologies, Ceccaldi’s work maintains a handmade quality that mirrors the conflicting feelings of his characters.
