Born in 1990, Amir Zand is a highly talented Iranian digital artist known for his multidisciplinary approach and unique perspective on visual art, conceptual design, and illustration. Over the past ten years, he has distinguished himself internationally, particularly in the realms of science fiction and fantasy, thanks to his visionary creativity and works characterized by a rich and unmistakable style.

Zand’s career is already filled with prestigious projects, having designed over sixty book covers and collaborated on iconic sagas such as Star Wars, Warhammer 40k, DUNE, Halo, and Mortal Engines. His work has been included in three consecutive editions of SPECTRUM: The Best in Fantastic Contemporary Art, one of the most important artistic publications dedicated to the fantasy genre. In 2020, he was listed among the 100 most esteemed illustrators in the world by the Association of Illustrators of Japan. His creations have been exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries, such as the Museo della Permanente in Milan, the CAFA Art Museum in Beijing, and the Shibuya Modi Gallery in Tokyo.

The book Rêves Entrelacés is conceived as a catalog for the artist’s solo eponymous exhibition, held during the Festival International du Film de La Roche-sur-Yon in 2024, marking his first major presence in France. The collection of illustrations provides a comprehensive overview of Zand’s work, compiling all the illustrations from the exhibition and featuring an exclusive interview with the artist conducted by Melania Gazzotti and Charlotte Perriand.

    The result of 6 years of work, Il bacio della lucertola (The Lizard’s Kiss) is the graphic novel with which Luca Zamoc debuts in the publishing world. The story stems from an intense journey of Zamoc in 2013 through the Thai jungle and creeps into the mind and pen of the author until it becomes today a masterpiece of 96 pages, redrawn three times before arriving at the final form. Everything starts from an accident in the Indonesian jungle: the dramatic fate of the protagonist and his companion will be the pretext for deep existential and spiritual reflections, while in the background reality dialogues with fantasy, opening to the reader imaginative, primordial and visionary scenarios.

    Also in this case it is possible to find the stylistic code of the authors, who are distinguished by the investigation on the relationship between Man, Nature and Mythology. A journey of exploration in an inhospitable and wild place, in which, however, coexist, together with archaeological traces and tropical fauna, singular spiritual connotations. It is in this way that, at the crossroads between nature and culture, the journey through the forest becomes a profound inner journey. The passages are marked by continuous flashbacks full of tension and surprise, where past and present, escape and search, inexorably mix, pushing the protagonist to look for answers on the border between the environment that surrounds him and his interiority. The figurative complex, here rendered with ink drawings, manages to immerse and involve the reader in the shamanic and mysterious atmosphere.

    Aimed at admirers of graphic novels and comics, to discover a new authoritative protagonist.

    How many times, on the metro, on the bus, on the train, have we been caught by the people around us absorbed in their digital worlds? Are we able to discern from the use of digital devices, smartphones in the lead, what is useful to us from what penalises us? Are we really able to judge the new practices to which we have become so easily and haphazardly accustomed?

    Cremonesi is an artist who expresses himself through images: with an ironic approach and light stroke, he draws people filmed in the daily routine of travelling on the metro, all magnetically attracted by their mobile phones; he shows us ourselves in the mirror, making us smile and inviting us to reflect. The phrases and names scattered throughout the book invite us to delve deeper, urge us to investigate what is behind this… ‘mobilezation’ – a neologism from mobile and mobilisation –, and accompany us as we browse through the plates of the characters, often caught in poses of unexpected plasticity and eloquence.

    Dedicated to those who are sensitive to new social behaviour – such as mobilezation – and appreciate the author’s self-mocking and anything but superficial spirit, to those who love illustration and lightness.

    “It was a kind of music. Six months later I found an album of oriental paper, and I started to draw a kind of landscape score. I tried to find this music of forms, I looked for my Patagonia from the Patagonia I had crossed”.
    – Lorenzo Mattotti

    This is not the first time that Mattotti has felt the need to make an illustrated travelogue, he had already done so in 2014, collecting a series of drawings documenting his discovery of Vietnam in a precious travel book, later published by Louis Vuitton. On Patagonia, however, the artist does not want to make a full-fledged reportage, as he had done for the eastern country; what interests him about this place is only one aspect: its boundless and virgin nature, not its inhabitants and their stories that had so fascinated storytellers such as Bruce Chatwin and Louis Sepulveda. For Mattotti, Patagonia is first and foremost a place of the mind and that is why he strips it of colour to represent it, synthesising its forms, making it almost abstract to succeed in giving us back a sensation before an image, the sensation that every man feels when he finds himself in an extreme land, in a land at the end of the world.

    Edited by Melania Gazzotti, the book presents all the 24 black and white plates contained in the Nepalese paper notebook where Mattotti copied his travel notes, together with a selection of colour drawings made by the artist in a classic Moleskine® notebook while he was in Patagonia. Both notebooks are unpublished and were made between 2003 and 2004.

    The world’s best-known Italian illustrator, a never-before-seen exhibition and a book to collect: Patagonia by Lorenzo Mattotti promises to be a not-to-be-missed event for all lovers of contemporary illustration and beyond.

    Beginning in the post-war period, the Italian film industry needed to involve artists to illustrate and promote its films. Thus the ‘cinema artists’ were born. In the 432 pages of this extensive collection of images, around 500 of which many are unpublished, there are several levels of interpretation. The first is that of the curator, Maurizio Baroni, perhaps the best known enthusiast and collector in the Italian film world. Over the years, his passion has led him to collect tens of thousands of posters, playbills, flans, sketches and to get to know and frequent almost all the 29 artists published in the book, as well as actors, producers and directors. He recounts half a century of cinema through posters, sketches specially selected by him, numerous first-hand accounts and some very tasty behind-the-scenes stories, revealing above all the human side of this particular group of artists. Truly popular artists, who showed great originality and innovation by using diverse and unmistakable styles, thanks to the great expressive and narrative freedom they could enjoy. Often considered minor, they were nevertheless able to significantly influence the collective imagination.

    Instead, calligrapher Luca Barcellona dwells on the other decisive element of film posters, lettering, while graphic designer Andrea Mi questions their legacy, reflecting on how and to what extent these compositional forms subsequently conditioned the graphic style and suggestions connected with it. Finally, art historian Alessandra Cesselon presents the painters one by one, contextualising their works in the artistic environment of the time, which she experienced first-hand as the daughter of Angelo, one of its main exponents. She rejects the appellation of ‘poster artists’ for them and claims a full rehabilitation of what she does not hesitate to define as a true artistic current. The book is aimed at film buffs and collectors in general, but also at graphic designers and illustrators, students and professionals, as a historical document for enthusiasts and at the same time an inspiration for new generations of communicators.

    The 29 painters examined are: Manfredo Acerbo, Tino Avelli, Anselmo Ballester, Alessandro Biffignandi, Ercole Brini, Silvano Campeggi (Nano), Alfredo Capitani, Renato Casaro, Angelo Cesselon, Averardo Ciriello, Mario De Berardinis (Mos), Enrico De Seta, Renato Ferrini, Francesco Fiorenzi, Renato Fratini, Rodolfo Gasparri, Giuliano and Rinaldo Geleng, Piero Ermanno Iaia, Otello Mauro Innocenti (Maro), Carlantonio Longi, Dante Manno, Luigi Martinati, Giuliano and Lorenzo Nistri, Giorgio Olivetti, Arnaldo Putzu, Nicola Simbari, Sandro Symeoni.

    Preface by Gian Luca Farinelli, director of the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna, and Carlo Verdone, actor and director.

    The first major work devoted entirely to the film discography of maestro Ennio Morricone. The only one of its kind, it is the brainchild of the collector, author and film expert Maurizio Baroni, who draws from his own boundless archive to create a comprehensive review covering over fifty years of his prestigious career, much of it previously unpublished, including the maestro’s autographed manuscript scores, soundtrack record covers and much more.

    Expertly accompanying the over 550 images in the volume are texts by Germano Barban, a journalist and expert on cinema and film music, and impassioned speeches by great directors and actors, revealing some of the background to this extraordinary success and the reasons for the influence that Ennio Morricone has exerted on the collective imagination through his music. A full-scale homage to this great Italian film music composer, undoubtedly the most famous in the world.

    “Art is work.”
    – Milton Glaser

    In this first monograph on the work of Beppe Giacobbe, the artist reminds us that “illustration is a service”. His ironic, conceptual, provocative, and ambivalent drawings are a testament to his unparalleled visual problem-solving skills. Like a film soundtrack, Giacobbe’s illustrations set the tone of a text, signaling its potential tensions, contradictions, or problems: we see an Orthodox Jew perched atop a roll of barbed wire, an astronaut carrying a bucket containing the entire universe, a sports car with snails where there would normally be wheels. With great simplicity and lightness, Beppe Giacobbe offers a worldview that invites us to reflect on the current state of things.

    This collection of over 250 illustrations is subdivided into key topics—alienation, hope, identity, etc.—and sorted alphabetically like a visual dictionary. The book’s user friendliness remains faithful to the concept of service, such that the reader gains a better understanding of the artist’s point of view and the origins of his figurative style, which has garnered him widespread esteem and continues to win over new fans from the up-and-coming generation.

    Dove c’era un prato IT

    € 19,00

    Seven incredible drawings of the same landscape, portrayed from 1953 to 1972, and how it changes in such a short time. The debut work by Swiss artist and illustrator Jörg Müller, first published in 1973 and thanks to which the author made an international name for himself, was then something completely new in the world of picture books and is today as relevant as ever.

    No words, it is only the plates that speak and a date that marks time: where there was a meadow, a stream, a house painted with vegetable gardens and flowering trees, shortly afterwards there is also a tractor and a train passing in the background. Page after page the forest and the stream are gone, chimneys and industrial plants arrive, the painted house is demolished to make way for a busy motorway and a supermarket.

    A landscape that changes face in the space of a few years, a tale in pictures that is not intended to be a nostalgic cliché of the rural environment, but a chronicle of vivid immediacy of the change brought about by the glorious age of progress. The author’s beautifully drawn plates are timeless and without place, painting a scenario that most of us have experienced over the past sixty years: we all remember that childhood meadow that is now gone, and unfortunately we continue to see others disappear.

    The edition of this book tries to be partly faithful to the first, original German edition by giving the pictures space and centrality. Dove c’era un prato (Where There Was a Meadow), which won the author the German Youth Literature Award in 1974, is today a great classic on the environment, which triggers urgent and necessary reflection.

    With a text by Giulia Mirandola, careful curator of cultural projects that focus on visual reading and the relationship with the landscape.
