Jazzy Magis
Enthused by his passion for both jazz and drawing, Christophe Lier's drawings and sketches reveal a highly original interpretation of the personality of a number of musicians. From Louis Armstrong to Lester Young, including Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker, Christophe Lier has sketched more than forty portraits of the « Kings and Queens of jazz ».
« It's the subtle shifts between the individuality and the spirituality of these legendary figures, as well as the fusion of the body with the instrument that I wanted to reconstruct by putting pencil to paper, thus rendering the image both sacred and enduring. " Jazz Kings " is my homage to the talent and genius of these artists, my wise men. Jazz musicians are my constant companions. When I became aware of their impact on my creative energy, I was compelled to forge parallel, and often improvised, links with them, which I wished to share with others through my drawings ».
