Antoine Orand's artistic pratice is centered on drawing and independant publishing with a distinctive taste for graphic novels. In parallel, he is the co-director of a documentary film (II martello II Coltello e la Pietra) and the founder of the underground publishing house Sub-Zéro.
His practice oscillates between baroque outpourings and minimalist tendency; sub-culture derivates and sci-fi works; instruction manuals and logotypes. Frequent visits to peculiar and specialist bookshops helped shape the profane, fringe culture that underpins his research and publications.
His body of works (numbering over twenty since 2014) has been acquired by both the libraries of New York City Public Library and MOMA.
Claires Fontaines, published in 2018 by Animal Press, has been shortlisted for the MAD prize Révélation Livre d'Artiste 2018 at the Monnaie de Paris.
Charo Céleste published in 2021 by Quintal Editions is shortlisted for the same prize in 2022.
Since this year, he is working with the world renowned luxury brand Hermès.
Orand's books are mainly distributed by Printed Matter in New York |
