Biography

Born in Langon, Gironde, 3 October 1969, Sandrine Revel spent three years at the École des beaux-arts de Bordeaux [fr] and graduated.

In 1996, she published her first album, Jouvence La Bordelaise, based on a script by Frédéric Bouchet and, at the same time, she drew for Sud Ouest Dimanche and Milan Presse.

In 1999, based on a script by Denis-Pierre Filippi [fr], Revel drew the children's comic strip, Un drôle d'ange gardien. The album earned her the Prix jeune espoir at Quai des Bulles [fr] in 2000, and, in 2001, the second volume, Un zoo à New York, won the Prix Alph-Art jeunesse at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.

The following year, she published Le 11e jour, a testimony of the September 11 attacks in 2001. She joined forces with Claude Bourgeyx [fr], who wrote the script for her for Monsieur Régis, published in 2009. The following year, she wrote a series, Résurgences, Femmes en voie de resociabilisation (Resurgences, Women on the Way to Resocialization) as well as Sorcellerie & dépendances, a parodic story. Based on a script by Marzena Sowa, Revel drew N'embrassez pas qui vous voulez, published in 2012, about Poland in the Stalin era.

Inspired by the performance of Océanerosemarie [fr], Revel designed in 2013 La Lesbienne invisible,, on a script by Murielle Magellan. In 2015, Revel illustrated the children's book Le voyage de June written by Sophie Kovess-Brun [fr], and published by Des ronds dans l'O [fr]. The book evokes female homosexuality and LGBT parenting through June's "two moms". The same year, a biography on Glenn Gould was published, Glenn Gould, une vie à contretemps, which Revel wrote and illustrated. This work earned her the Prix Artémisia [fr] in 2016.

In 2018, she wrote and drew Pygmalion. Three years later, she delivered a biography of Tom Thomson, om Thomson, esquisses d'un printemps. In 2020, on a script by Isabelle Bauthian [fr], Revel drew Chroniques de San Francisco.

In 2022, together with Théa Rojzman, Revel won the high school prize at the Angoulême International Comics Festival for the graphic novel Grand silence, on the theme of sexual violence against children.
