Jean-Paul Jérôme

Born: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
1928 - 2004


Known as the Plasticiens, artists Fernand Toupin, Louis Belzile, Jauran (Rodolphe de Repentigny) and Jean-Paul Jérôme proposed a unified form of image making that found a pathway to transcendental meaning in the complex play of geometric shapes - or what they called the “plastic elements” of colour, texture, form and line.

As they summed it up in a published statement from 1955, Manifeste des Plasticiens: “Elements [are] assumed as an end in themselves.” But times were changing fast in Quebec and true to the era’s revolutionary climate of social and cultural upheaval, most of the Plasticiens soon moved on to new experiments in avant-garde expression: Jauran to photography, Belzile to figurative painting and Toupin to landscape imagery. Of the group, only Jérôme held fast to a belief in the elemental dynamism of colliding geometric forms, a visual language he continued to explore until his death in 2004.
