Astier de Villatte has published his first art book, "DRAWINGS" (7,000 yen), in collaboration with the multitalented artist Lou Doillon.

In "DRAWINGS," singer and actress Lou Doillon reveals her unique and exceptional world, unconstrained by trends and conventional ideas, with sure and delicate lines, and has blossomed as a painter. Featuring over 60 works, the book's main subject is her own body, an object she is particularly passionate about and continues to paint through repeated studies. Viewed from above, her own body, clad in unusual clothing and shoes, is her most amenable subject. She is willing to pose motionless for hours, and it is also the object of endless visual research, offering endless possibilities for exploration, almost to the point of constructing a world of its own. Her paintings, meditating on the visible world, captivate with their inherent beauty.

The binding of "DRAWINGS" follows the same format as the artist's sketchbooks, with a dark blue cover featuring a hand embossed in gold foil. The deluxe edition (12,000 yen) comes with a special linen pouch silkscreened with the same motif.

In addition, on November 3rd, the two creators, Lou Doillon and Astier de Villatte, Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli, will be visiting Japan to hold a publication celebration party at H.P.DECO in Shibuya. They will also be showcasing newly added ceramic and fragrance collections, as well as a selection of Christmas ornaments from around the world.
