Studio Delu. (1976) - Michel Vaillant – « Cairo ! – Vaillante n°243 »

Studio Delu. (1976) – Mechanical Legends Collection – Michel Vaillant – “Cairo! – Vaillante no. 243”

Shadow Frame 27 × 27 cm – Mixed media – Work signed

With its Mechanical Legends collection, Studio Delu gives depth to iconic vehicles and scenes from the comic book.

This creation combines a real French page from the Michel Vaillant album – Cairo!, by Jean and Philippe Graton – with a collectible miniature of the blue and yellow Vaillante no. 243 at 1/43 scale, bearing the name Steve Warson.

The page depicts a spectacular encounter between the race car and elephants. In the large top panel, an elephant faces the vehicle, trunk raised and tusks in evidence.

The comic becomes the setting. The car emerges from it. The action comes to life.

Each Studio Delu creation is hand-assembled. The choice of page, of the miniature, and their arrangement give this composition its singular character.

About Studio Delu

Studio Delu (1976) transforms comic book and pop culture scenes into contemporary relief compositions. Each work combines an album page with collectible objects to create a passage between print image and three-dimensional scene.
