'Le Refuge du Lac d’Émeraude': Patrice Zeltner

Description

With his new album, Patrice Zeltner takes us to the village in Val d’Hérens where he grew up. Between childhood memories, fiction, and real events, he crafts a narrative that combines the beauty of the Alpine landscapes with reflections on migration, hospitality, and solidarity. The exhibition presents the original drawings and offers a behind-the-scenes look at their creation, from traditional drawing to coloring by Isabelle Zeltner-Salamin. A heartfelt homage to a region and those who pass through it, with a special reference to Ella Maillart. On the opening day, Mahnaz, a young Afghan woman, will share a personal account that echoes the story told in the comic. Zeltner has lived in Sierre since 1989 and is a press illustrator and comic book author. His first albums, dedicated to the character Nasreddine, were published by Éditions Favre and awarded at several international festivals. With this new album, he presents his first long story.
