Sarah Jérôme
Sarah Jérôme (b. 1979, Rennes), lives and works in Montreuil. A graduate of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Danse de Paris, she pursued her training at the Opéra National de Lyon. Her desire to explore form and content further led her to the Beaux-Arts de Paris, where she honed her plastic arts skills.
This eclectic background has nurtured her artistic approach, marked by a richly nuanced sensibility at the intersection of dance and the visual arts. Today, she defends a figurative and introspective practice through painting, drawing, sculpture, installation and performance.
Jérôme's work, regularly exhibited in France and internationally, is distinguished by its ability to evoke deep emotions and play with the boundaries between dream and reality. Executed in a style in which traces and erasures are part of the creative process, bearing witness to the artist's body-to-body presence, her brightly colored, bubbling paintings are produced in oil on thick tracing paper. Her ceramic sculptures continue her research into materials and human representation.
Jérôme's work has been shown in institutions and galleries such as Château de Maisons-Laffitte, Musée Cognacq-Jay, À cent mètres du centre du monde art center (Perpignan), Espace d'art contemporain André Malraux art center (Colmar), Museo Pino Pascali (Italy), Cathédrale de Troyes, Projektraum Ventilator (Berlin, DE), Espace Pierre Cardin, Arthotèque of Annecy, Fondation espace écureuil for contemporary art (Toulouse), La Chaufferie (Lyon), Galerie C (Neuchâtel, CH), Lyles & King (New York, USA), Prometeo Gallery (Milan, IT), Doppelgaenger (Bari, IT), Galerie Sabine Vazieux (Paris), Galerie Au Cube (Mâcon), H Gallery (Paris), Galerie Da-End (Paris), Galerie Vachet Delmas (Sauve), Espace Martiningo (Chambéry), Galerie Catherine Putman (Paris), Montreuil Contemporary Art Center.
