The French comic book artist and writer Alex Varenne is best known for his erotic works, but that is not how he started out. He showed an early aptitude for drawing, but to earn a living he chose to become an art teacher, as did his brother Daniel. He stopped teaching when he could no longer reconcile it with his comics work. Varenne became interested in comics in , a time when new authors and magazines were becoming very popular, but it was not until that he finally broke into the comics market, creating with his brother, who wrote the text, Ardeur Ardour , a post-apocalyptic science fiction series, which was published in Charlie Mensuel.
Ardeur , which despite its title contained very little by way of sex, continued in six extended episodes until It also fit perfectly with that stage in my life.
He drew until the end, making his life a work of art. You will find, reading between the lines and the drawings, the most intimate and authentic portrait of Alex, the man and the artist, but also an expression of his profound love for all women. Some may find it a little repetitive and predictable, but there is no doubt that he loved his subject matter. Main menu. Alex Varenne. Example illustration. Erotic Opera
