Dans ses carnets, Lorenzo Mattotti met en scène des rituels amoureux, des personnages errant, des rêves enfouis, des paysages et des châteaux. Il construit un théâtre dans lequel il explore, cherche, construit toujours des histoires futures.

Rites, rivières, montagnes et châteaux

Long a superstar in his native Italy, Lorenzo Mattotti has made sporadic incursions into the U.S. via appearances in RAW magazine, the classic Fires graphic novel, and the more recent, 2003 Eisner-winning Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde adaptation from NBM. (Not to mention regular gigs in The New Yorker.) All of these previous works have showcased his full-color painter style, but Chimera, with its intricate, hyper-expressive swirls of crisp line work, shows that Mattotti's genius is bound by no single technique. A wordless fantasia of birth, death, gods, monsters, and humans, Chimera is one of the most astonishing visual narratives you'll ever see.
