Silvere JARROSSON

Silvere was born in 1993 in Paris and after graduated of the Paris National Opera Dance school, he dances in numerous ballets. After a serious injury in 2013which no longer allowed him to dance, he devotes himself to painting. His early years were characterized by work on acrylic canvas, to which he gradually superimposed oil paint.
Winner of the Claude Monet Foundation in 2018, he exhibited the same year at the Riga Academy of Fine Arts in Latvia. This opportunity allows him to assert his style, radically abstract although full of gestural evocations. After a project at the Villa Médicis in Rome in 2019, Silvère Jarrosson entered an artist residency at the Lambert collection in Avignon, in 2020 and 2021.

In 2021, he is asked for an exhibition of monumental works at the Chapelle Saint-Louis of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. Subsequently, he created the scenography for the Danser Schubert program for the Opéra national du Rhin (show rescheduled in 2023).

At the same time, Silvère Jarrosson exhibits his work in the form of a dialogue with works by the painter Olivier Debré, in 2021 at the Galerie Faidherbe, in Paris. This allows him to link his gestural abstraction to that of the 20th century, from which he is distinguished, however, by his initial training as a classical dancer, giving him a particular knowledge of movement, and by a sensitivity to the ecological cause specific to his generation.

Silvère Jarrosson, with a master's degree in biology, also develops a scientific approach to pictorial genesis. He establishes parallels between the forms as they appear in nature, and the pictorial processes at work on his canvas, and to this end collaborates with researchers in biology. The artist is also leading a project on this subject in artistic and scientific collaboration with the Natural History Museum of Paris with a view to an exhibition in 2024.

His works are present in numerous collections including that of the Mobilier national de France. IN 2023, the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar is dedicating an exhibition to him: The work that follows; in co-production with the Opéra national du Rhin. The Paris National Opera is also exhibiting a monumental work (5x6 meters) in the foyer of the Opéra Bastille.

Silvere Jarrosson will present a solo show at ART Basel Bâle, Art Basel Paris and Art Basel Miami in 2024.
