TOA #9 - Limited Edition of 5 Artwork

My two favorite painters made each a statement about John Cage. The latter brought legitimity to their creativity. In 1966 Nicolas de Staël declared : « Can a painting nothing else? I do not know. All life is cruel because one is never sensitive enough. Cage is breath ». 40 years later, in 2006, Gerhard Richter completed the Cage series consisting of 6 artworks. He admitted making his own the famous John Cage's formula : « I have nothing to say, and I am saying it ». If I may paraphrase these two icones, I have nothing to say but a shy post-scriptum.

LensCulture about ALBEDO: "You have given us images that exist at the intersection of photography and painting. I understand that these images are also based on the concept of "albedo" which is the reflecting property of a surface—one without dimension. Your most complex images are the most compelling. I am drawn more toward your photographs that present a visual mystery. Ones where it takes a moment or two to identify the human form and the various shapes from nature. There are some very strong images in this project Jerome. Congratulations on your success this far. I encourage to keep on this track". Lens Culture about Harmony: "This series of abstracts have been framed in a very interesting way. You took a meaningful approach that stands out as looking through a unique lens. The images really stand out here for the strong use of color and contrast." Born on July 14th, 1962, I passed my photography degree in 1987. My first professional life allowed me to travel a lot and to practice my passion for photography, made of humanist features in black and white. Right on the day of my 50th birthday, I decided to reverse the priorities by spending the rest of my life solely on photography. Thus was born the project Love (2012-2015) published by the Eye of Photography. In 2016, I meet the French master Raymond Depardon who congratulates me for my work and encourages me. Like him, I discover color late, and my artistic proposal is moving towards less figurative and more abstraction. I adopt the famous quote by Serge Poliakoff: "Abstract art is like a big tree whose branches are moved by the winds. It allows freedom of spirit to flourish and man to express himself, free from the limits of figurative conventions”. I believe in humility and honesty, in the light-color-form-material quartet to lead me to abstraction.
