Jerome

Jerome works across painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation to explore how lived experience can be expressed through both abstraction and figuration. Colour, gesture, and material are central to his practice, as he considers them carriers of memory, identity, and collective narratives, while also embracing the ambiguity that arises when these elements converge. His multi-disciplinary approach allows each medium to inform the other in unexpected and transformative ways.

Drawing remains a core thread throughout his practice. It was the foundation of his artistic development and continues to shape how he thinks, composes, and translates experience across painting, sculpture, and installation. Recently, Jerome has returned to drawing with renewed focus, pursuing it both as an independent practice and in dialogue with mixed media.

In his project Action Black, Jerome examines black paint as a material that has itself undergone lived experience. Here, the paint becomes both symbolic and emotional—an active force that draws from everyday realities and political landscapes deeply tied to the formation of identity. As Jerome has stated, “it utilises the lived experience of the Black,” positioning materiality as inseparable from memory and history.
Jerome completed his MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2019 and has held the position of Senior Lecturer since 2021. His practice has been showcased at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, featured in Hauser & Wirth’s Painters on Painting series, and included in group exhibitions such as Chili Projects (2023).

He is expecting to have a group show with Gallery M Platform in the next week.
