Maximilien Le Roy is one of those people for whom drawing and travel go hand in hand. He'd choose the off-piste route over the circumscribed art school career any day: taking to the road, coming back to tell everyone about your travels, and then setting off again. Enamored with liberty, he likes radically changing his line, his subjects and his settings through his work, which masterfully merges literature, journalism and comic books.
From Gaza to Indochina, Le Roy is one of those artists that needs to tread the ground of the places he tries to depict in order to capture its essence and transpose it onto the pages. He needs to meet people, so that he can tell their story; he needs to find stories in History. And then get back on the road again, from one book to another... For 10 years, Christophe Gaultier has been chief designer for several animation studios.
His most recent work in the field of animation is "The Triplets Of Bellville". Yes, bicycles already! His published graphic works include: "Banquise" (Soleil Productions); "Clichés - Beyrouth 1990" (Humanoides Associés); "Kuklos" (Soleil Productions); "Grise Mine" (Paquet); "Le Cirque Aléatoire" (Treize étrange / Milan - 2 volumes published + an album "les Origines"). It is the first comic book that he has written and produced from start to finish.
It is very much a personal project, one which only he could get exactly right.
