Il fisarmonicista Drawing

Born in Brussels on 10 November 1951 From a mother painter, he quickly became interested in painting. Jean-Marie Gerola is very quickly put forward by the great painter Mariano Fracalossi, and it could not be otherwise, given their linguistic affinity for a very pictorial figurative painting. These are in fact works which, without going outside the tradition of matter and colour, develop a narrative somewhat in a heretical mode. Indeed, extreme pictorial orthodoxy seems to be the element that characterizes the work. Drawing from its own traditional language, without ever being anodyne, the result is a very poetic narrative, expressed by a subtle play on matter and a very delicate sense of colour.
