Cedric Pierre-Bez
France
Inspired by the French and Belgian comics his father collected growing up in Marseille, Cédric Pierre-Bez had great admiration for his country’s biggest cartoonists, such as Giraud, Druillet and Loisel. Later influenced by the distorted aesthetics of the expressionist movement, the cubism of Picasso and the colours of Derain, Cédric began to develop his own graphic style. But of all his influences, the most obvious is Fernand Léger, whose mechanised bodies share clear similarities with the subjects of his own work.
