The work

“Apocalypse” is a work by Olivier Ledroit in ink and paint on cardboard. At its centre, a woman’s face with lowered eyelids is streaked with long black drips running from the forehead down to the lips. Around it opens a vast corolla of speckled petals, bristling with thorns and claws. At the top, a skull with open jaws sits beneath a blazing white light; below the face, a large beetle spreads its wings.

Rendered in black, white and every shade of grey, the composition has a striking presence: the precision of the line shows in each vein of the petals, each thorn, each highlight. Plant life, death and the human figure merge into a single vision, both fascinating and unsettling, in the fantastic vein that runs through the work of the author of Requiem Vampire Knight and The Black Moon Chronicles.

The original is on show at Flibustier Paris from 22 October to 22 November 2026.

This art print is printed in France by Atelier Kyodai Print on 230 gsm premium matte paper. It is available in three portrait sizes: 30 × 40 cm, 50 × 70 cm and 70 × 100 cm.

The artist

Where the gothic turns grandiose and every image opens the gates to a legendary world.

Olivier Ledroit is a French illustrator and comic book author, trained at the École Duperré in Paris. His work stands out for its exceptional draughtsmanship and a marked taste for rich, spectacular compositions.

He made his name in 1989 with Les Chroniques de la Lune noire, a medieval fantasy series created with the writer François Marcela-Froideval. This major work did much to renew the aesthetics of French fantasy comics.

Regarded as one of the forerunners of the gothic style in comics, Olivier Ledroit has developed an instantly recognisable world. Fantasy, dark romanticism, symbolism and baroque influences meet in illustrations teeming with detail.

Through works that have become iconic, his singular style has left its mark on several generations of readers and artists. Today Olivier Ledroit stands as an essential reference in gothic illustration and dark fantasy.
