Graduating from l'École des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg in 2011, Marion Fayolle has been active in France illustrating comics, co-founding and running the magazine Nyctalope, and even being commissioned by The New York Times as an illustrator. In Pieces is the first of her collections to be published in English, and we are very happy to be able to share her works with you. In Pieces is visual poetry, with each series of illustration taking up one to two pages. Each series of illustrations are a display of human relationships – sometimes dark, sometimes philosophical, sometimes light, but always comical. We hope you enjoy this selection of illustrations from Marion Fayolle’s book, In Pieces.
These images are really meant to capture the state of naivety towards significant events among younger generations. The images are simply taken from google searches: they could be anyone and represent anything. In fact, an observer is able to find these exact images if they were to look hard enough. this acts as a metaphor for the means in which many now get their information nowadays; not from the stories of the past told in person but from a google internet search. The symbolism comes from the fact that, despite the availability of these images, the soldier's significance is not known. So while the viewer is clearly able to see the soldier, it is his purpose, his importance, that is not known, hence the cloudiness and the energetic brush strokes.
