House of Gog | New Statue | Le Damné (The Damned) by Philippe Druillet

[House of Gog]

LE DAMNÉ BY PHILIPPE DRUILLET
An Original Art Statue by House of Gog

We’re pleased to present Le Damné (The Damned), House of Gog’s first original art statue created in official collaboration with legendary French comics artist Philippe Druillet.

Inspired by an illustration first published in 1978, the statue brings one of Druillet’s most compelling characters into sculptural form.


Original illustration by Philippe Druillet, 1978.

The Character

A renegade knight without a kingdom, Philippe Druillet’s red-eyed cosmic corsair has defied gods older than time and the relentless tyrants of galactic empires since his first appearance in 1966. An eternal pariah, hunted and shackled, he is hurled into cataclysms that consume entire worlds, yet remains forever unbowed.

His odyssey through the stars is one of rebellion, exile and survival. He moves through a universe of ancient gods, vast empires and civilizations caught in the path of forces far beyond their control. At times witness, instigator or avenger, he remains beholden to no master and bound by no law but his own.

Philippe Druillet

Philippe Druillet (born 1944) is one of the defining figures of modern French comics. His monumental compositions, intricate cosmic architecture and baroque visual language helped reshape the possibilities of the medium.

A pioneer of science fiction, Druillet gave the genre its cathedrals and its abysses, creating vast, intricate universes that drew as much from mythology and fantasy as from science fiction. His influence extends across generations of artists and filmmakers, while his work reaches far beyond comics into painting, sculpture, photography, film and stage design.

The Statue

The goal was to create a piece Druillet would recognize as his own. Beyond the character’s appearance, the statue had to capture the force of his original illustration, Druillet’s extraordinary sense of scale and the spirit of the antihero himself.

Every aspect of the statue, from the sculpt to the final paintwork, was approved by Philippe Druillet.

Designed, handcrafted and hand-painted in our own workshop.
