Emil Mbr is a French artist and illustrator, now based in Brussels after completing a bachelor\u2019s degree at ESA St Luc Tournai.
\nHe\/she joined the team at Les Ateliers du Toner in 2020 following a residency at the venue, where he\/she developed an editorial practice to publish his\/her books and fanzines. He\/she works mainly in gouache, pencil and ink.
\nHis\/her world subtly oscillates between children\u2019s and adult illustration, through which he\/she tells stories in images that often highlight queer identities in a tender, playful and poetic way.
\nHe\/she creates with the aim of offering diverse representations and leaving room for the viewer to tell his\/her own story. Their characters \u2013 not always human, sometimes ageless \u2013 play with gender norms, undergo metamorphoses, and are free, supportive and utopian.
\nFor his\/her exhibition \u201cCh\u00e8r\u00b7e Sol\u201d, he\/she looks back on six years living in Brussels in the form of a letter to a friend who has seen them evolve since they first met. The works echo the confidences, everyday moments, questions and shared dreams experienced throughout this friendship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
