NOCQ - Lot 88

NOCQ GAETAN NOCQ Octopolis, Daniel Maghen 2024 Original cover. Signed. Acrylic and colored pencil on paper 32.9 × 45.8 cm (12.95 × 18.03 in.) It's a large, radiant blue that, with its range of nuances, gradually sinks into darkness. Two small points of light emerge, two divers scanning the seabed. What are they looking for? With Octopolis, the original cover is like a promise to the reader. It's a promise to plunge into the depths of the oceans and discover the landscapes of the invisible, probably the last terra incognita of our blue planet. An immersion that opens onto multiple, unsuspected spaces: infinite, vertiginous spaces, suspended spaces where everything emerges as if in a dream, spaces where wonder and contemplation rub shoulders with the thickness of mystery.
