Dérives

This double-page illustration is linked to Dérives, Alexis Bacci's horror story published by Glénat, which draws the reader into the world of Japanese pearl divers. A dizzying underwater scene, poised between fascination and nightmare.

In the depths, a host of octopuses intertwine their sucker-covered tentacles. Their slit-pupilled eyes stare at the viewer, while a gigantic eye fills the entire background. On the right, a black-haired diver rises towards the surface, fists clenched, surrounded by white bubbles. Her body, rendered in a vibrant orange-red, clashes violently with the icy blue of the abyss.

The contrast of complementary colours, blue and orange, gives the image a striking energy, while the meticulous linework and marbled textures reveal Alexis Bacci's taste for cosmic horror. In its panoramic format, this work will speak to lovers of horror stories, sea creatures, Lovecraftian worlds and auteur manga, and to anyone unafraid to stare into the abyss.

This art print is produced by the Kyodai Print workshop on 210 gsm Fine Art paper. It is available in 30 × 40 cm, 50 × 70 cm and 70 × 100 cm.

Between 1970s manga, Italian-style horror and esotericism, Alexis Bacci draws dark, spellbinding worlds unlike any other.

Wooden frame: natural-finish wooden frame with a protective plexiglass front. Available for the 30 × 40 and 50 × 70 cm sizes. Your work arrives already framed, ready to hang: it ships in a box, not in a tube.

Made to order: another size, another paper, a special project? Send us your request: quote within 24 h, no commitment.

Ships within 5 business days in a hexagonal tube, tracked and insured. Fine Art prints travel in double packaging: a rigid round tube slipped inside a second square tube that keeps it from rolling and absorbs knocks. Works ordered with a wooden frame arrive already framed and ship in a box. Free shipping from €150 within mainland France (collectibles excluded).

Returns within 14 days, numbered editions included: the work comes back in its original tube, unframed and in perfect condition. Only prints dedicated to your name or made in a custom size cannot be returned or exchanged, unless faulty on arrival.
