LES TAMPONS DE ROSER

In his house in La Fouillade, Roser portrays great writers on small linoleum squares. The young woman, originally from Barcelona, immortalized the features of Oscar Wilde, Arthur Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Marcel Proust, Federico Garcia Lorca or those of Virginia Wolf, Jane Austen, Olympe de Gouges and Hypatie, on stamps that serve as ex-libris. These engravings, whose tradition dates back to the invention of printing, were once used to mark a work with the name of its owner. Roser, who trained in fine arts and graduated in literature and philosophy, exhumed this tradition in the fall of 2016 to bring it up to date. On his stamps, whose wooden handles are made by a carpenter from the village, the faces of these men and women of letters are flanked by inspiring sentences. In particular, we remember Rimbaud's "Il faut être absolument moderne", which fits perfectly with the designer's state of mind, whose talent and precision are emulated on the Web. Roser offers a personalization service: it is possible to have an ex-libris engraved with her surname or to imagine a visual and a text that the young woman will make to measure.
