Since he graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2001, Jérôme Zonder has been one of the most famous artists of the young contemporary French scene. He is considered as one of the most important drawers of his generation.
2018 will be a particularly dense year for Jérôme Zonder.
The artist will benefit from a solo show at the Château de Chambord, Devenir traces, starting June 10th through September 30th. The exhibition will present over 130 works in the historical spaces of the castle, following a one-month in situ residency. This summer, Jérôme Zonder will also enjoy a solo show at the Centre d’Art Le Transpalette in Bourges.
Jérôme Zonder’s œuvre has also been presented in notable personal exhibitions such as The Dancing Room at Tinguely Museum (Basel, Switzerland, 2017), Fatum at La Maison Rouge - Fondation Antoine de Galbert (Paris, France, 2015), and Au Village at the Lieu unique (Nantes, France, 2014).
This year, the artist will also take part in several group shows such as Guernica at the Musée Picasso in Paris, from March 27th to July 29th, and
Quel Amour !? at the Musée d’Art Contemporain of Marseille, at the occasion of the MP 2018 artistic event, from May 9th to August 31st.
Jérôme Zonder was also invited by Laurent Le Bon and Pierre Rosenberg to participate in the show Le Massacre des Innoncents : Poussin, Picasso, Bacon at the Musée Condé of Chantilly this past fall.
Thanks to his past group show Prière de toucher at the Tinguely Museum (Basel, Switzerland) in 2016 and his solo show La Jeune Fille et la Mort at the Drawing Center of Diepenheim (Netherlands) the same year, Jérôme Zonder has drawn a growing attention from the international art scene.
His work is present in important international collections such as The Istanbul Modern Museum, the FMAC Paris, the FRAC Picardie, the FRAC Auvergne, the Fondation Emerige, the Collection Antoine de Galbert, the Collection Florence and Daniel Guerlain and the Maison Particulière Myriam & Amaury de Solages.
