Graphic design professor at Collège Brizeux, lives
and works near Quimper, France, since 1972.
His work is atypical and focuses on the production
of posters about political, social and cultural issues
without almost any contact with more
traditional advertising work aside from editorial
design, signage projects and press drawings
for the newspaper Le Monde, Paris.
Mr. Le Quernec’s work has been extensively
presented in international events. In 1981 he held
an exhibition at the Museum of Nantes
but his 1987 Paris Poster Museum exhibition
was the landmark of his career. After that
he became a member of Alliance Graphique
Internationale (AGI) in 1990. In 1992 he exhibited
at the Museum of Modern Art of Tel Aviv
and in 1996 he held the Alq/Ubo Exhibition
at the University of Brest, France.
Mr. Le Quernec has been awarded with numerous
international awards including the 2006 Moscow
International Biennial of Graphic Design
Golden Bee Award, the 2002 BEDA Award,
the 1995 Sofia Stage Poster Triennial First Prize
and the 1992 Mexico International Poster Biennial
First Prize and Paris Cultural Poster Prize.
