Graphic Novelist Marjane Satrapi Will Debut Her Paintings in Paris This Month | ARTINFO.com | Gender and art | Scoop.it

Next week the acclaimed, Iranian-born graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi — whose celebrated 2000 graphic novel “Persepolis” was turned into an Oscar-nominated feature film that she co-directed — will show her paintings for the first time when 21 of them go on view in her solo exhibition at Paris’s Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont.

 

The paintings, primarily portraits and groups of women, bare an unmistakable resemblance to Satrapi’s distinctive drawing style, will be on view January 30-March 23, thereby overlapping with the French release of her latest directorial effort, “The Gang of the Jotas,” a live-action crime comedy that opens at cinemas throughout France on February 6.
