JÉRÔME TORET, BORN IN DIJON, BURGUNDY, AND OF FRENCH NATIONALITY, IS A VISUAL ARTIST. HAVING DRAWN SINCE A YOUNG AGE, HE BEGAN HIS CAREER IN 1994 BY FOUNDING Z-77, AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN AGENCY OFTEN HIGHLIGHTED IN THE PRESS FOR ITS GRAPHIC AND INTERACTIVE PRODUCTIONS, AS WELL AS ITS PIONEERING USE OF EARLY DIGITAL GRAPHIC SYSTEMS.
HE PARTICIPATED IN SEVERAL GROUNDBREAKING PROJECTS IN THIS FIELD, NOTABLY WITH ADOBE, WITH WHOM HE COLLABORATED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES BECAME A TRUE SOURCE OF CURIOSITY FOR HIM, LEADING DIGITAL IMAGERY AND PRINTING TO BECOME CENTRAL THEMES IN HIS WORK. FROM THAT POINT ON, HIS ARTISTIC CREATIONS OFTEN INTERTWINED CLASSICAL AND DIGITAL TECHNIQUES — A PRACTICE THAT HAS REMAINED CONSTANT THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.
JÉRÔME HAS CONTINUOUSLY EXPLORED, MIXED, AND ENRICHED BOTH HIS PALETTE AND HIS WORK, NEVER CONFINING HIMSELF TO A SPECIFIC MEDIUM. FROM DRAWING TO VIDEO ART, HE HAS BEEN ON A CONTINUOUS QUEST TO BECOME A COMPLETE ARTIST. ENCOURAGED BY CHARLES ZALBERT, HE PRESENTED A SERIES ON TIME, EXHIBITED IN PARIS AND NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES. THIS DREAMLIKE BODY OF WORK CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF THE LUXURY WATCHMAKER PIAGET, WITH WHOM HE COLLABORATED FOR A DECADE, HONING HIS SKILLS IN HIGH AND ULTRA-HIGH-END PRODUCTION FOR AN INTERNATIONAL, REFINED, AND DEMANDING CLIENTELE. AT THE SAME TIME, HIS ARTISTIC PROPOSALS WERE WELCOMED AND AWARDED AT VARIOUS SALONS AND EXHIBITIONS.
HIS MANY TRAVELS PROVIDED HIM WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AS A SCENOGRAPHER AND CURATOR. HIS FASCINATION WITH THE CONCEPT OF TIME, PRESENT FROM HIS EARLY WORKS, BECAME THE CENTRAL FOUNDATION OF HIS ARTISTIC PRACTICE. HIS MEETING WITH GOAR AND STÉPHANE LED TO THE CREATION OF HIS INFINITE DIALOGUE WITH TIME: ANTHASIS. OVER TIME, HIS IDEAS HAVE BECOME MORE DISTILLED, WITH HIS DRAWINGS AND SCULPTURES EVOLVING INTO INCREASINGLY MINIMALISTIC GEOMETRIES — SOMETIMES BARELY SKETCHED — THAT ENGAGE IN A DIALOGUE WITH SPACE AND LIGHT.
