Tiburce Oger

To preserve your works on paper, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the mediums used. Paintings made with pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing. Works containing watercolor are particularly sensitive to light, unlike gouache and acrylic.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made from 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.
