A microcosm which one grasps as we unravel the skein of an enigma, whose content sends back to the big existential questions. Besides the jubilation that procures the reading of these multiple stories, the drawings of Sébastien Laroche-Hôte also evoke a procession of emotions which are embodied in characters alternately roguish, meditative or amazed to be there. D.P.

(…) Sébastien Laroche-Hôte first investigated the meanders of the line, the mysteries of the geometry as well as a beautiful sample of the human race in a determinedly figurative vein. Humanity is for him much more than a source of inspiration or a subject of study. It is about a voracious concern that mobilizes at the same time his senses, his neurons and his empathy. D. Paternoster.
