Fragment Pop Marilyn

Original work - collaborative work by Jérôme Mesnager and Lasveguix

The gallery presents a unique work resulting from the exceptional collaboration between Jérôme Mesnager and the artist Lasveguix.

This unique piece fits into an aesthetic of the torn urban: a fragment of a ripped poster where the timeless icon of Marilyn Monroe emerges, a direct heir to the pop imaginary popularized by Andy Warhol.

The torn, stratified surface, marked by time and matter, becomes a territory for intervention.
At the heart of Marilyn's face, a mythical and fragile figure, appears the famous White Body, a silhouette in motion, almost celestial — which seems to pass through the icon, as if to liberate or reinterpret it.

a dialogue between myth and movement

Marilyn embodies celebrity, glamour, and the media construction of the American dream.

The de Mesnager symbolizes freedom, vital energy and universal humanity.

Lasveguix's work on the torn support evokes urban memory, the ephemeral, and the deconstruction of the image.

The tension between the fixed figure of the myth and the dynamics of the body in action creates a contemporary interpretation:
A fragmented, revisited Marilyn, traversed by urban art.

The work plays on:

Jérôme Mesnager

A major figure in French urban art since the 1980s, he is internationally renowned for his [illegible character], a universal symbol of peace and movement. His work uses public space as a poetic and politically engaged canvas.

Lasveguix

A contemporary urban artist, he develops a visual language blending pop culture, torn posters, and pictorial interventions. His work questions the image-driven society and collective memory.

Original artwork created collaboratively, mixed media on a fragment of a poster mounted on the wall.

Jérôme Mesnager, Pop Marilyn

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.
