Tiburce Oger

To ensure that your pages are kept in good condition, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the media used to produce them. Although Indian ink is a perennial material, the paper support may change when exposed to UV light. Note that watercolor plates require special attention, as this medium is particularly sensitive to light. Pieces containing pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made of pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity.

Passionate about drawing since childhood and an admirer of Walt Disney, Giraud, and Hermann, Tiburce Oger trained at the National Comic Strip and Image Centre (CNBDI) in Angoulême before spending three years working in animation. Winner of the Alph-Art Avenir award in 1991, he published Gorn the following year, a series he would continue over eleven volumes and which established his reputation. Alternating between roles as artist and scriptwriter, he explored a variety of genres: Westerns with La Piste des ombres (The Shadow Trail), children’s comic art with Orull, and fantasy with La Forêt (The Forest) by Vincent Perez. In 2011, he adapted Anne Robillard’s Les Chevaliers d’Émeraude (The Emerald Knights), before returning to the Western genre with Buffalo Runner and Ma guerre (My War) in 2015. His body of work is marked by constant graphic and narrative diversity. Complete biography.
