Pretextual work or postscript literature, the full silences of Jean-François Hermon’s canvases echo the mute chorus of the books.

Here and there, aporetic figures seem to have passed through the founding texts to bring us an unprecedented question: can anything still come to pass?

Jean-François Hermon was born in 1944. He painted.
He questioned, studied, taught, listened, learned, unlearned, began again. He painted.
He committed himself out of humanism, withdrew out of pessimism, recommitted out of realism. He painted.
He went through Greek blue periods, Judean red, Mediterranean orange.
He travelled, lived, dreamed. He read the stories, interpreted the myths, listened to memory. He painted.
He hoped, despaired, faced the present, endured the past. He painted.

Jean-François Hermon has been being born since 1944.

He paints.
