Monograph of works on paper by French painter Silvère Jarrosson.
Silvère Jarrosson was born in 1993 in Paris. He graduated from the dance school of the Paris Opera as a dancer, and has devoted himself to painting since 2013. His early years were characterized by working exclusively with acrylics, upon which he gradually layered oil paint. Winner of the Claude Monet Foundation prize in 2018, he exhibited at the Academy of Fine Arts of Latvia in Riga. This was an opportunity for him to assert his style, radically abstract but imbued with natural or choreographic evocations.
After a brief stint at the Villa Medici in 2019 for a specific project, and then in residence at the Lambert Collection in 2020 and 2021, he multiplied his exhibitions in France and abroad. His artworks are featured in numerous collections, including those of the Mobilier National and Société Générale. In 2021, after a monumental exhibition at the Saint-Louis Chapel of La Salpêtrière in Paris, he designed the set for the "Danser Schubert au XXIe siècle" program for the National Opera of the Rhin. His joint exhibition with works by painter
Olivier Debré in 2021 at the Faidherbe Gallery in Paris allowed him to establish a link between the "gestural abstraction" of that period and his own. However, he distinguishes himself by his initial training as a classical dancer, which gives him a particular understanding of movement, and by a scientific approach to the creation of images. The Unterlinden Museum dedicated an exhibition to him in 2023 ("L'Œuvre qui va suivre," co-produced with the National Opera of the Rhin).
