Description
Hailing from France, the artist Jérôme Masi worked for years as a graphic designer, art director and illustrator, only to have focussed his attention to painting in recent years. In a distinctive style, through minimalist silhouettes, muted color palette his work refers to childhood memories and a time of worry and care free sense of play.
About The Jaunt
The Jaunt creates unique opportunities and possibilities for artists. The project allows artists to travel the world and find inspiration – a lasting inspiration that potentially permeates their creative process. The Jaunt’s mission is to catalyse progress and feed fresh insight into the artistic practice of our artists. The first step in this process is taking the artist out of their comfort zone and allowing them experience completely new surroundings.
The concept is simple: send an artist on a trip to find inspiration. There is no agenda or a briefing for the artist during their trip. The artist makes their own plans to meet with other people, visit museums, go on hikes, study neoclassical architecture or whatever else comes across their path. While the artist is on the road, they document their impressions in a travel blog which gives even more insight into the artist’s perspective.
