Description
A meeting, the meeting of two artists, two universes in which space and time merge to create what they love: art. A single objective: the triumph of their talents.
The creation serves the novelty, taking us on a journey through their art. This work, born from the collaboration between Jérôme Mesnager and Lasveguix, is a resounding success.
Artwork created using collage, torn posters, paint, and spray paint made from torn posters. Painting of the famous white man by Jérôme Mesnager.
In January 1983, Jérôme Mesnager invented the White Man, "a symbol of light, strength, and peace." This white silhouette, called the White Body or the White Man, has been reproduced all over the world, from the walls of Paris to the Great Wall of China. A true world tour: from the giants of Ménilmontant to Moscow's Red Square, the articulated figures are everywhere! Today, the White Body is over thirty years old, and several books already celebrate it.
Unique work, signed by both artists.
Presentation
Jerôme Mesnager joined the École Boulle in 1974, where he followed the cabinetmaking course, and where he stayed as a teacher. In 1979, he joined Yves Got's and Georges Pichard's comics course. The two were teaching at the Duperré School.
In 1982, he co-founded Zig-Zag, a group of very young artists who decided to take over the streets by drawing graffiti and to occupy abandoned factories through artistic performances.
On January 16, 1983, he invented the man in white, "a symbol of light, strength and peace". Jerôme Mesnager drew this white silhouette in the entire world: from the walls of Paris to theChinese Wall.
In 1990, the artist left his parent's house and moved to Paris. He showed works drawn on wooden fences at the Loft gallery, and published a catalog of these works. In 1995, he produced a large mural painting in the Ménilmontant street in Paris, "C'est nous les gars de Ménilmontant".
Jerôme Mesnager is often associated with Nemo, a character with a black silhouette wearing a raincoat and a hat. He was part of the Paris street art scene, with artists such as Blek le rat, Miss Tic, Jef Aérosol, Némo, etc. and of the Free Figuration movement in the early 80s.
In 2006, he produced a series of paintings inspired by art nouveau and art deco. The same year, hedrew his white characters in the Hôtel des Academies et des Arts in Paris.
