The soul of an artist dances in lyrical abstraction

Silvère Jarrosson remains connected to the 7th art: painting is the first point of a cultural scale, followed by sculpture, architecture, music, dance, literature and cinema.
He left the sphere of the fifth stage to devote himself to the first of the 7th art, painting that represents reality in a two-dimensional artistic image, created using colors applied on a surface, to obtain a composition with shapes, colors, texts and drawings, the birth of a work of art respecting the aesthetic principles of the soul and the character of the painter.

If dance is the artistic means of expressing a message through a succession of rhythmic movements, variety and expressiveness of the body, expressed in the rhythm of music, having a religious, artistic or entertainment character, painting has a more extravagant cultural form of connecting and illustrating different spheres regardless of the point and exhibition of reality: physical, human, celestial or even in three dimensions.

The young artist became involved in art after a tragic injury in 2011 that prevented him from working as an opera dancer, he abandoned this path, but his lyrical soul helped him discover his love for painting, transforming and reviving a talent in his paintings into a new birth of lyrical dance, the pictorial field was called geometric abstraction / abstraction lyrical.

Silvère Jarrosson, a young man who is an exception to the rule, but easy to identify thanks to his soul, who has a footprint dedicated to art, whatever its meaning, whether as a dancer or even as a painter thanks to the intelligence and studies that built his physical ADN, and turned it into a painting dancer that evokes the liquid fractures of pictorial jargon, when the Some paintings crack before they have dried.

Silver is secret, silent and prudent but also strong and charitable.

Sociable, generous and proud, he is overflowing with dynamism and joie de vivre, he is a fighter, a frontal attack and does not hesitate to compete with the strongest.
He has something mysterious, delicate cheerfulness and affectionate tenderness, majestic and refined, Silvère is attentive and shares much with others.

It is exactly the personal character, which its name itself gives, the fluid world and the dynamics of its romantic and lyrical soul, classic but extravagant. You have to look at abstract expressionists to see this. Cold hardness and hot softness coexist in the same medium.

Silvère Jarrosson was born in Paris in 1993; after he began training in his adolescence at the Paris Opera School of Dance, the young man changed his way to biology before he began painting.

His professional experiences have contributed to art, he develops a pictorial work guided by both technical research and an imaginary carried by dance and movement. His master’s degree in biology has guided some of his recent works, in which acrylic is treated as a living material.

“Painting is like a silent poem; poetry is like a blind painting,” and only a painter can describe what his soul sees, “There are three kinds of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, and those who do not see,” are quoted by Leonardo da Vinci.

The paintings of Silvère Jarrosson offer a personal and ambiguous panel of states of soul that dance can wear and transmit: exaltation, suffering, madness, precision (…) escape in spontaneous and risky, reconstructing vast imaginary  spaces (the atmosphere, the sea, the universe) or (empty, blind or even mute), as a narration (visual as well as musical or corporal).

Every work of the artist has a part of its genesis, which lies in a mountain of words, created by his hands, rendered by an image of the register of the heart, created by a tear in a sea of colors. An inner world seen with the naked eye created in portraits and paintings of the register of his soul, dedicated to life and the love of being, brought and transposed into images in a value of the reality of the cult and the origins of the character, but also through the physical and  civic exhibition of the celestial meaning.

His influence with the younger generations, from various postulates, testifies to his durability, his natural affinities, his personal history, his spiritual fiber, not painting the movement but his emblematic trace, in a way his memory, reincarnated in the slippery chain of its wavy and effrated forms, in continuous growth – discontinuous.

None of these figures is given a name or meaning: they testify above all to the artist’s physical and mental dance in his studio, his tastes, sometimes his obsessions or his doubts.

It uses lyrical abstraction, which emphasizes action and gesture, in the conditions of abandonment of the figurative and as far away from rational and orderly efforts of the geometric abstract, which emphasizes the lyrical abstraction which relies on instantaneous and uncensored communication of the deep horizons of the subconscious, a set of color spots a secret language of music and dance, which springs from the infinity and immensity of the artist.

Visual art is a symbol of status in modern science and therefore it can be quite intimidating for the occasional viewer. For many people, the first impulse is to ignore it, to think of it as a useless fashion, it’s a sin, not only because art can be a great source of pleasure in our lives, but also because a simple tangent with art can enrich and strengthen our understanding of the world around us.

Looking at every painting created by the young artist, Silvère Jarrosson, who draws attention through the subject presented, the use of colors, the emotional nature, the emotional reaction of the artist ranging from veneration and passion to anger and disgust, his imaginary artistic eroticism, is It is important to stop for a moment and analyze your immediate reactions, to build an image of the artist even its spiritual or emotional form, and even to construct a psychological portrait.

The artist Silvère Jarrosson exhibits 30 works under the theme “Génèses & Gestes” at the art gallery “Vanities Gallery” – 16 rue Popincourt, 75011 Paris, from 3 July or 26 August 2020.

After a stay at the Villa Médicis, as well as a residence at the Collection Lambert in Avignon, Silvère Jarrosson exhibits in Paris a procession of 30 new works, for the first time in nearly two years. Following the success of its previous exhibitions, the Vanities Gallery devoted its entire 200m² space, located in the 11th arrondissement.

The Vanities Gallery, a young gallery founded in 2017 by Thierry Tessier and Victoria Zhong, aims to become a bridge between European and Asian arts, which it regularly gathers around a resourceful selection of French and Chinese artists.

In the original collection, two works are distinguished by their form:

• The LUCA section, nearly 25 meters long, a painting of 16 panels is the artist’s greatest work of art that was first exhibited at the Academy of Fine Arts in Riga in 2018, but in the art gallery, only six of the 16 panels will be displayed, as space is limited;
• one of the three videos made in 2019 at the Villa Médicis in homage to Antonin Artaud and projected on the facade of the Roman monument during the Villa Aperta festival during the 9th edition. Silvère Jarrosson, with his history and his past as a wounded classical dancer, came to embody this posture. A painful and merciless struggle for existence followed a second in which a danced gesture gradually replaced the violence of the first fights to symbolize a renewal, referring to injury and death, but also to love and the possibility of a rebirth through art, in homage to Antonin Artaud.

Gates open to the art gallery “Vanities Gallery” located at 16 rue Popincourt, 75011 Paris, an exhibition entitled “Génèses et Gestes” from 3 July to 26 August 2020 by artist Silvère Jarrosson.
