Romain Slocombe, born in 1953, of Jewish descent through his grandmother, studied artistic at the Faculty of Vincennes (poster techniques and narrative figuration) and at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris. He took part in the graphic adventure of the Bazooka group, in that of the magazine "Métal hurlant" and produced about forty covers for the "Folio" collection in Gallimard, including Yukio Mishima, Jack Kerouac, Henry Miller, Antoine de Saint-Exupery. His favorite themes quickly turned to Japan and bondage, with young women (nurses and Japanese) attached to them. He uses various forms of expression: comic strip, drawing, painting, illustration, photography, film, essays and novels, both for young people and for an adult audience. Romain Slocombe has exhibited his graphic works in France and abroad (New York, London, Stockholm, Tokyo, Bologna, Lyon).
