Space Relationships

Stéphane Massa-Bidal, aka Rétrofuturs, is an illustrator/graphic designer/art director based out of Lyon, France. Stéphane focuses mainly on illustrating interactions between texts and images, as well as the symbolism which results from these interactions. By combining various types of media, his artworks reveal unexpected and sometimes caustic tones. Cohesiveness is ultimately achieved, however, giving each piece a great sense of continuity and flow. Stéphane relies heavily on old archive pictures, collages, and various styles of typography; these serve as his tools for his creations as well as the building blocks of digital iconography. Stéphane’s collection “Space Relationships” is but one example of his ability to manipulate various types of media to ultimately create captivating artworks filled with surprises and hidden details to explore. His works have been featured in numerous magazines as well as on many websites including, Libération, Taschen, Fubiz, Abduzeedo, Boingboing, Design you Trust, and more. He is also the co-founder of the creative duo Contrepétographes, where his creativity and love for word play coincide perfectly with his illustrative talents.
