After the Antoine + Manuel exhibition in Paris, design duo Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz will shine
a new light on the relations between the worlds of the graphic design and advertising in Hong Kong at the
Hong Kong Heritage Museum.
Antoine and Manuel work together since 1993. They are part of these graphic designers who, in the end
of 1990s, created in the graphic arts what is known as the French Touch, an expression mainly used for
electronic music. Antoine and Manuel did not practice in the area, but their work is mainly focused on the
worlds of imagery, they imposed their own radically innovative style, creating their typography and
illustration from collages and photographed three-dimensional models using marks, felt pen and vector
graphics software.
Antoine and Manuel combine their personal visual expressions in a world which dreams, the bizarre and
Surrealism rub shoulders. Their work embraces sensation, emotion, touch and decorativeness, rejecting
the rigorism and functionalism prevalent for so long in graphic design.
