Approach:
The paintings of Jerome Rochette aim to spark a dialogue between the portrayal of a given object and the artistic universe that it inhabits. Rochette’s artwork exists in this intrinsic, subjective duality of the medium: The artist strives to translate reality with his materials, while inserting his own perspective into the piece. Rochette has developed a unique artistic language by using multiple layers, styles and techniques, allowing his work to take on a distinct and dynamic tactility. Rochette’s paintings are grounded in a powerful aesthetic through his use of formal elements like colour, texture and layering. With Rochette’s powerful, pure and spontaneous vision at the forefront, the individual fragments of each piece are transmuted into a symbolic whole. The subjects depicted in his artwork conjure a familiar, concrete reality, and the imagery within evokes very powerful concepts...
