Description
The gallery is featuring an exceptional work by Jérôme Mesnager.
Technique: White acrylic on raw cardboard
Material: Recycled cardboard, irregular cuts
Signature: Recycled cardboard, irregular cuts
Authenticity: Signed in white felt-tip pen
An emblematic figure in Jérôme Mesnager's work, the White Body, is presented here in a dynamic and fragmented composition. Created on raw cardboard, the work reinforces the dialogue between urban art and humble materials, remaining true to the original spirit of street art.
The figure, painted in pure white, appears to be in motion—arms and legs extended in an almost choreographic gesture. White, the artist's visual signature.
The choice of recycled cardboard is not insignificant; it evokes the street, the precarious and ephemeral medium.
It creates a strong contrast between the fragility of the material and the vitality of the character.
The natural tears in the support contribute to the composition and emphasize the raw energy of the work.
The small stylized bird silhouettes bring a poetic and airy dimension, reinforcing the idea of freedom and elevation.
In this piece, Mesnager transcends the modest medium to affirm the timeless power of his icon. The cardboard becomes a territory of expression, a memory of the street, and a space for breathing.
The work perfectly embodies the encounter between urban art, gestural minimalism, and the poetry of movement.
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.
