J.Peschard, also known as Skullface, can be described as a "curatorvore," drawing inspiration from a diverse array of sources, including Generation X and Dadaism. He absorbs these influences, distills and utilizes them, crafting allegories and analogies that form distinct and sometimes disruptive narratives reflected within his artworks.
Coined the "Vietnam's Gauguin," Skullface's work blends Pop Art collage with Asian aesthetics, inspired by the lively street scenes of historical French Indochina and vintage USA.
His signature pieces combine pictorials of antique automobiles, ladies bearing Vietnamese Ao Dai, and French colonial architecture, showcasing his profound respect for history and culture. His artistic process combines precision and innovation by first developing his compositions digitally before painting them onto metal.
This technique ensures a meticulous integration of multi-layered details, with his final pieces often capped by a neon sign to reflect the painting's central themes.
Jerome Peschard's art reflects a life full of creativity and rich experiences, his works a fusion of East and West. Drawing from the dynamic spirit of his adopted home of Vietnam with his family, he is committed to storytelling, and cementing his distinct artistic identity.
