One season, one drawing

To create a visual identity specific to each season, Les Brigittines choose to commission a comic artist. Whether well-known, established or not, each artist is given free rein to create their own interpretation of Les Brigittines. Following on from Thierry Van Hasselt, a Brussels-based author and publisher and co-founder of Frémok Editions, who had dreamt up and imagined Les Brigittines and their immediate surroundings, this season we are calling on the creativity of the young Brussels-based illustrator and author Maurine Larcher. A keen observer of her contemporaries, her world is colourful, funny and fiercely caustic.

Maurine Larcher (alias Rapsodymorris) is a French illustrator and author who has been based in Brussels for many years. Her comic strip work is rooted in reality, drawing on a keen and often highly ironic observation of the behaviour of her contemporaries.

She is the author of her first two self-published books: L’addition (2021) and Des gens bien (2023), which have been met with critical acclaim and brought her to the attention of the publishing world. In March 2026, she published La théorie de l’évolution with Éditions Lapin.
 

Through incisive snapshots (covering topics such as hair removal, astrology, interior design, dreams and encounters…), Maurine Larcher captures a society coming together.

Her characters, captured in the moment, seek to forge connections; they talk about themselves, others and our times, taking advantage of a willing ear to open up… and to call on us, the readers, as witnesses.

In 2025, she undertook a residency lasting several weeks at the Albert-Marzelles Municipal Museum in Marmande (France), which led to the exhibition Les amateur·ices, a gallery of characters that bears witness to our relationship with art and artists, and to a young woman’s perspective on the cultural scene
