75,00€

In this poster, Jean-Michel Tixier immortalises the emblematic gesture of the master blender: the moment where scientific rigour meets the art of instinct. Atop an enormous bottle of La Vieille Prune Réserve Impériale, a man evoking Louis Roque himself stands balanced on a ladder, one leg raised, a pipette in hand, ready to make the perfect final adjustment. The image captures the heart of the craft: precision born of mastery, audacity born of confidence.

"L'Audace de l'Équilibre" celebrates this subtle tension between exigency and creativity. It is the very essence of the blender's craft: daring to pursue perfection while retaining absolute freedom, mirrored in that fragile yet masterfully controlled balance.

JEAN-MICHEL TIXIER

A self-taught Parisian artist, Jean-Michel Tixier confidently revisits the French tradition of ligne claire. An heir to Hergé, Chaland and Serge Clerc, he brings a resolutely contemporary and grown-up touch to this retro style. His characters, mischievous and ultramodern, seem to step straight out of a comic strip into our own era. His sharp, irreverent line appeals equally to publishing and fashion, where his graphic humour and timeless elegance hit the mark.

INSPIRATION

L'Audace de l'Équilibre evokes the exacting mastery of gesture embodied by Maison Louis Roque since 1905. The tightrope walker, suspended between risk and precision, symbolises the duality of the master blender: rigorous as an artisan, audacious as a creator.

The enormous bottle of Réserve Impériale La Vieille Prune, on which the ladder rests, becomes the pedestal of this savoir-faire, the silent witness to a tradition where every detail matters. Jean-Michel Tixier plays here with irony and visual poetry: a physical balance to depict a balance of taste. The scene, bathed in golden light, conveys both the gravity of the craft and its artistic lightness, the very DNA of Maison Louis Roque.
