Jerome Francois

Born in 1964, he works and lives in Mondeville Normandy (France), painter and teacher at Esam Caen-Cherbourg Art School. He shows his work in France and in other countries.

Most of his inspiration comes from cinema, he paints Cinema, he paints movie paintings from biopics movies or other movies he loves.
Be it a question of screen, focal or "deja vu" (movie memories), of narration, freeze-frame or abstract composition, we find ourselves face to face with a piece of research which aims to proclaim the perpetuity of painting by Movie painting.

Master of fine art, Caen Art School 1992.
