Jerome Mesnager Hotel Academies

Here is what Cooper.edu says about Jerome Mesnager who invested with his art Hotel des Academies et des Arts Paris.

« Strictly speaking, Jerome Mesnager – who usually does not sign his works -is not a pochoiriste because his images are drawn freehand. But Mesnager Us consistently-rendered figure is read in the same way as a stencil. His white ghost wanders the streets of Paris at night, climbing, resting, leaving its imprint on doors and walls. Mesnager’s white figure emerged from a meditation on light. By eliminating all colors and the canvas itself, he explains, the painter finds himself alone, and finds himself part of a living, internal canvas. « When I find the right door or wall, everything goes fast, » Mesnager says. « I jump against the wall in the pose I want to represent and I paint very fast. It takes 26 seconds. »

Mesnager chooses his sites with precision and, like most Parisian wall artists, he finds the oldest surfaces the most inviting: the catacombs, the ancient stone facades, walls that look as if they came from the original quarries from which the city was built. « More and more I find debris interesting, » he says. « It has color and an atmosphere that carries emotion. »

His white figure has been seen as far from Paris as the Great Wall of China and lurking near the pyramids of Egypt. « The little white man wanders/He is a luminous ghost/He haunts deserted places – from a 1989 poem by Mesnager. »
