François Delarozière - Chimères et autres animaux fantastiques

Until now, only the visible part of the chimeras created by François Delaroziere has been known to the general public.

This book reveals the hidden side of François Delaroziere's monumental creations, their point of origin. It can be based on the geographical features of a place, a local legend or a mythological tale. Invariably, these sources of inspiration are embodied in a drawing that contains the artist's dream and story.

Between storytelling and sketching, the book opens the breach to the imaginary.

François Delaroziere is a designer, inventor and builder of sets and creations for street theatre, he has been designing and directing the manufacture of large-scale performance machines for over fifteen years.
