Marguerite Sauvage is exhibiting in Gurato’s group show, H, at Design Festa Gallery in Tokyo. Gurato is a French association that aims to promote artistic exchanges between French-speaking Europe and Japan, offering exposure to young artists from France, Belgium and Switzerland in Japan and vice versa. For H, Gurato invited 20 European illustrators to explore the idea of “H”, or Hentai. The Western world has been intrigued with Hentai, often viewing Japan as a remote heaven inhabited by courtesans, geishas, submissive housewives, naïve high school girls and huge-breasted manga heroines. With 4 out of 10 Japanese couples claiming to be “sex-less,” this exhibit explores the idea of Japan and Henati as either a world of limitless fantasy and promise or as one of pure imagination. Other artists in the show include: ARF!, Bluenju, cRoA, Emmanuel Malin, Jerome Senaillat, Joyce Colson, Kness, Lotie, Made, Max F, Mcbess, Mikkymixx, Mylydy, Reuno, Shaka, The Nudeman, Veronique Meignaud, Vincent Leveque and Yuio. The show runs from August 8th to 14th.

Marguerite Sauvage’s character illustrations for Rexona have been animated for a series of four TV commercials for their women’s skin care brand’s new deodorant. The commercials, which were animated by Passion Pictures (UK) and produced by Gorgeous Enterprises and Pioneer Productions, feature Marguerite’s paperdoll illustration exercising and looking for the perfect outfit all while coping with the pain of underarm friction and razor-burn. The charming and funny ads have been noticed by the ad community internationally and have recently been featured as a top select on Creativity Online’s Adcritic section, videospotnow.com, and youtube.com with links to view all the spots in the series.
