Delphine Lebourgeois (b 1976), a graduate from Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, and from Central St Martins, has been working in London as an artist and illustrator for more than ten years.
Lebourgeois’ work is a culmination of her many years working as a commissioned illustrator for clients; The Guardian, Penguin Books, Macmillan, Bloomsbury and many more in the UK and abroad. Her style can be described as a happy marriage of typography, freehand illustration, and creative collection or collage.
Her works are made of many layers, precise and detailed but with a dreamlike quality, which invites the viewer to engage and enjoy. Each of her works is carefully researched and then produced with elements of humor and play in a considered balance of conceptual interpretation and sumptuous aesthetic.
Themes often revolve around the surreal and fantastical, humourous characters are often seduced and entwined in a rich and colourful backdrop. Lebourgeois seeks to surprise her audience, to engage them initially with striking design - which reveals a hidden narrative on closer inspection.
Delphine Lebourgeois’ creative talent is as much in her organic way of layering each work, the process, the poetry and the story telling as in the finished article. Delphine Lebourgeois is a London based illustrator and artist. Her delicate and witty designs translate well for surface design and decoration commissions and recent projects have seen Delphine producing designs for silk scarves soon to be launched at Liberty London.
Delphine's decorative style of work is ideal for surface design and decoration for homeware, textiles, wallpaper, stationery. Her work is available to commission for artwork for interiors, including one-off pieces and limited edition prints.
