Celebrating the icon that is Le Gavroche

To celebrate and memorialise the icon that is Le Gavroche. I spent 4 months and hundreds of hours drawing 7 artworks.. when chefs talk about standing on the shoulders of giants. Le Gavroche and the Roux family were the giants they talked about. The legacy of Le Gavroche will never be forgotten.

All these artworks are hand drawn with pencil, fine liners (ink) and ink washes. They are produced on archival agave / cotton paper and very limited in number.
