Yannick Corboz

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.

Yannick Corboz was born in 1976 in Annecy. After graduating from the Émile Cohl School in 1999, he became an animator and illustrator in the video game industry (Infogrames, Atari and Ubisoft).

Together with Wilfrid Lupano, he created Célestin Gobe-la-Lune, published by Delcourt. From 2010 to 2016, he devoted himself to L’Assassin qu’elle mérite for Vents d’Ouest. Then, between 2018 and 2021, he illustrated Brigade Verhoeven for Rue de Sèvres, a crime series adapted from Pierre Lemaître’s best-selling novels, with Pascal Bertho as scriptwriter, before creating Les Rivières du passé, a diptych written by Stephen Desberg.
