BENJAMIN LACOMBE Benjamin could have been born on a cold December night in a dark neighbourhood of London, that would correspond to the atmosphere he likes. But he was born in July, one of the sunniest and most joyful days of the year. With this same taste for paradoxes, he paints his stories, often with oil paint and gouache. Stories that hover between shadows and lights, melancholy and humour.
