Bormes les Mimosas (France)

I love books.

I grew up surrounded by books.
My mothers owned a little bookshop in Brittany when I was a kid and then she became the director of the public library. For years, I spent my free time in those inspiring places.
I guess it is why I feel that books are ideal to share my illustrations.
I already published more than 40 books, facsimile of my original sketchbooks.

Sketching Barcelona

Exhibition at Jaimes librería (c. Valencia, 318, Barcelona) until the 30th of April!

“In this visual diary of Barcelona, French urban sketcher Lapin creates a compelling graphic narrative of city life through this deeply personal vision of the Catalan capital showing us images and situations taken from everyday urban life. Telling evocative stories through his drawings, he provides a fresh look at some of the urban transformations the city is currently undergoing, including green hubs and squares, parks and gardens. The result is a visual presentation of the city’s culture, drawn with virtuosity and making particular and humorous use of perspective, that will inspire other sketchers and appeal to people visiting the city: from its emblematic architecture down to the ornamental concrete slabs used to pave many of its sidewalks and nearly everything else in between.”

Drawing is good for you!

I have been teaching the art of Urban Sketching since 2009 at university or during International Urban Sketching Symposiums.
