La Clouture

I created a full-page illustration for La Clouture, a street food and live music event organized by La Rochelle's merchant community. The brief called for something that would capture the spontaneity and warmth of the gathering, drawing crowds while reflecting the spirit of the participating businesses. The direction draws from retro poster aesthetics and comic illustration, with a dense, layered composition that invites viewers to discover details. The color palette anchors on bold primaries, red, blue, yellow, creating immediate visual impact on the street. The perspective is deliberately playful and isometric, placing the viewer inside the action rather than observing from a distance. Every element serves narrative: the architectural frame of the old town, the diversity of figures and activities, the food and wine scattered throughout. This isn't about perfect hierarchy or minimalism, it's about abundance, movement, and the lived experience of gathering.
