La Rue, 2017

Éric Lambé  

After studying visual arts in Brussels, he founded in the early 1990s, with Denis Larue and Alain Corbel, the Mokka group which in 1990 gave birth to the renowned Mokka review Pelure Amère in 1992. From 1990 to 1994, he published also news in other Belgian magazines of the time: Frigorevue and Frigobox in French, Bill in Flemish. A large part of these French-speaking stories will be gathered in his first comic book, Les Jours Ouvrables, published by Amok in 1994.

From 1998, he began a collaboration with Philippe de Pierpont which gave rise to four books: Alberto G. in 2003, La Pluie in 2005, Un Voyage in 2008 and Landscape after the battle in 2016 for which he received the Fauve. d'Or at the international comics festival in Angoulême in 2017.

Éric Lambé has also illustrated books by Marie Desplechin (Le Sac à Main, 2004; La Photo, 2005), as well as a children's book, Le Voyage de Djuku (2003), written by Alain Corbel. Today he is a leading figure in avant-garde Belgian comics.

Since 2003, Éric Lambé has been a professor at ESA Saint Luc in Brussels. He exhibits his works at the Martel gallery, Paris.
