The reflection of a face in a window, a woman in a train, the last pink flamingo flying away in the sunset… Rembert Montald has captured the essence of all those things in Figured Out…
This beautiful 224 pages book bears witness to five years of passionate work. It is a true journey inside his memories, captured with an intensity that not even a photo could show, according to Rembert.
The artist
Rembert Montald is a gifted illustator. Worthy successor of Kim Jung Gi, he carries us along the pages of his sketchbooks, in the depths of his unleashed imagination which he transcribes with an evident mastery. He is a big traveller, having resided in Belgium, Croatia and in the USA, Rembert is always ready to hop on a plane to bring back images from all over the world, for our greatest enjoyment. His wife, Mariel, plays a central role in this book as she is a major inspiration for him.
Rembert’s word
Finally it has arrived! This book truly reflects how I fill my sketchbooks because it has been filled with 100+ illustrations from binding to binding.I always loved books with so many drawings in it that when every time you open it, you discover something new.
This has been a big project, and I’m so happy to finally share it with all of you! 🙂
I met Rembert for the first time on the 6th of September 2015 (There is even a photo). It wad at a festival in Brussels. At this time, I was very surprised bu the quality of his work despite his young age. And you know what? Since then, he bacame even better! Now, I am so happy that Caurette Editions are publishing his first sketchbook, and, I know that is one won’t be the last one to come!
