Biography

Bouvet studied and graduated at École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSB-A).

His design influences include Fernand Léger, Raymond Savignac, André François and Roman Cieslewicz.

His posters are very often the result of a mixture of techniques (photography, collage, sculpture, painting), which gives them a highly poetic graphic dimension.

He has won many national and international design awards in Poland, Finland, Japan, China, Czech Republic

Since 2002, he designs the corporate identity for the Rencontres d'Arles.

He has been the curator of several international graphic design exhibitions.
