Stavelot Abbey Beb Deum exhibition
An exhibition that questions and highlights the career of illustrator Beb-Deum
Through an exhibition that questions the future of humankind, Stavelot Abbey presents the 40-year career of BEB-DEUM, the astonishing, explosive French illustrator and graphic designer! Beb-Deum, alias Bertrand Demey, delivers his version of human diversity. The first part imagines the humans of the future facing unrestrained globalisation and the exploitation of the human body while the second, more retrospective part, leads us to rediscover his career as an illustrator, in advertising and the press in particular.
This exhibition – which will surprise many – contains countless references, but it’s the humans of tomorrow that raise all the questions, and this famous figure of Himiko, a hybrid creature made into a series. Beb-Deum’s strange and destabilising characters make us query and try to decode the artist’s intentions.
Beb-deum is a whistleblower on the future of humankind, as well as a formidable illustrator, these two palettes overlapping in an astonishing and arresting exhibition.
