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.”
