AMANDINE JUNG: FAR MORE THAN COLORING, AN ADVENTURE, SHARING AND A TOUCH OF ENCHANTMENT…
Born in 1987 in Brittany, the land of fairies and korrigans, Amandine Jung let herself be bewitched by tales and legends, quirky nursery rhymes and cartoons of every kind. She keeps her childlike soul in a world she imagines as dark and poetic. In her imagination, the sun can disappear to make way for the moon, Snow White can bite into a pearly apple, and a little shrew flies curiously through the sky. Going from a simple image in her head to successfully giving it shape is a difficult creative process. Amandine plays with paint, lines and her ideas. She feeds on the slightest word, the tiniest musical note, a soft spicy scent, the sound of rain falling on the ground, the autumn leaves singing in the forests of Brittany, the moon that makes her dreamy, the simplest image, and her overflowing imagination does the rest.
Since 2018, the artist has ventured into the world of coloring and revealed a new talent for creating coloring books for adults. In 2020, her first book, “Blanche Neige, la Princesse Empoisonnée”, was released, followed in 2021 by “Cendrillon et le Bal d’Halloween”; in 2022, “Pinups, Hors série 2022” marked the beginning of her rise to recognition, and her name began to resonate far and wide.
In October 2022, for Halloween, Amandine Jung offered a brand-new adventure with her first novel, “Chrysalide, Conte 1 : Le Coma Noir”. She takes us on a journey through a poetic and fantastical tale in the Kingdom of the Moon, a world without sun ruled by eternal night.
In November 2022, in her third coloring book, Amandine Jung dives into the famous tale by Hans Christian Andersen. This time, Amandine invites us on a journey between land and sea. Through her illustrations, imbued with her unique and dreamlike vision, rediscover this wonderful tale from our childhood: “The Little Mermaid”. Page after page, as brushes and pencils dance, relive the spellbinding and tragic story of the little Ondine, who has inspired many writings, from yesterday to today.
