Jerome Francois

About

Born in 1964, I work and live in Mondeville, I choose this place because of the name! it means "world city"!
Represented by Dubois-Friedland gallery in Brussels.
I am a maximalist painter, my painting is a maximalist painting since 1990, I am developping this maximalist artwork with a manifesto called Maximalism. Most of my inspiration comes from cinema, moreover from artist biopics (Basquiat, Bacon, Picasso, Van Gogh, Rembrandt...), but not only, there are also abstract paintings, anamorphosis, "forbidden paintings", "ethic paintings", "prehistoric paintings", and more...

Location: Mondeville, France
