About/Contact

Laurène Boglio is a French art director & illustrator who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Most recently, she led the creative helm of celebrated illustrated film magazine Little White Lies, and she has worked independently across a diverse range of media, for an eclectic mix of clients—from the Guardian to Taylor Swift.

Studying in Paris and Strasbourg, Boglio has expertly tuned a unique and distinctive artistic style to incorporate her own smart (yet playful) humor. This trait resonates throughout her breadth of work and is most prominent when brought to life by her fun-infused GIF animations.

With a passion for illustrating people, landscapes, and typography, she utilizes a range of techniques, always producing art with her truly original and compelling aesthetic.

Through her work, Boglio strives not only to create the finest visuals and storytelling but also to challenge her viewers’ perspectives. She says, “Dare to be creative. Be inspired by others. Find your own way of expression.”

about

Laurène Boglio is a French illustrator and award-winning Art Director who lives and works in Easthampton, Massachusetts and Brooklyn, New York. Characterized by black-and-white forms with the occasional splash of color, Boglio’s visual storytelling is at once playful and dark; absurd and profound. First recognized for her quirky GIF animations, she now experiments across genres, including editorial illustration, animated shorts, portraiture, and typography.

Before postsecondary education, Boglio was classically trained for four years by Michel Breban in her hometown of Annecy. She went on to study in Paris and the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg, where she discovered the sweet spot between graphic design and illustration—a hybridity that she continues to explore in her personal and commercial portfolios.

In addition to self-generated and partner-driven projects, Boglio collaborates with a diverse range of clients and brands—from The New York Times and Women’s Aid to Kiehl’s and Taylor Swift. For many years now, she has led the creative team of Little White Lies, a print magazine celebrating films and filmmakers, published in London, her home of seven years. While she continues to chronicle daily life through GIFs, she looks forward to venturing into the unknown, pursuing new artistic forms along the way.
