Biogaphy

​Jeromy Young studied Visual Arts concentrating in Painting at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He is currently the Associate Director and Instructor of Painting at the fine art school, Achilles Print Studio and is the owner of The Frame Shop Gallery 912 in Lafayette, LA. He has been producing commissioned and original paintings for over 20 years.  In his research and studio practice Jeromy focuses on the Classical techniques in oil painting and he continuously studies the works of various masters, particularly from the Baroque era, and most notably Rembrandt. Jeromy has exhibited in several national group shows and international traveling exhibitions and has donated his artwork to charity auctions. His work has been invited to auction at the New Orleans Auction Galleries and is in private collections throughout Louisiana and the United States.  Recently, he was invited to exhibit his work at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum, the Alexandria Museum of Art, A. Hays Town Building at the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum, and the Acadiana Center for the Arts.  Jeromy was also invited to be a visiting artist at the Baton Rouge Community College and has been featured on LPB’s Art Rocks as one of Acadiana’s premier artists.

Artist Statement

I have always been an admirer of the Old Masters, and a student of classical technique. Salvador Dali said to, “Begin by learning to draw and paint like the old masters. After that, you can do as you like; everyone will respect you.”  But the Old Masters are the apotheosis of painting, so it has not been an easy task to learn to paint like them. They learned painting technique firsthand from their own masters, and classical technique comes in many variations. I set out to figure it out mostly on my own, because times have changed. 

On this path, I worried that it was not quite good enough, and that before I could find my voice and really “speak,” I was supposed to reach some particular (mysterious) level of mastery. Therefore, every painting that I have done over the past 20 years has in many ways been a study to me, mostly a way to get better.    

I am a late bloomer and a throwback sometimes feeling as if I live outside of my own time. Over the years I kept some ideas hidden away in the most remote places in my mind. I am like a magma chamber that is finally going to erupt.

My more recent work has an energy that is like a precursor, like tremors or foreshocks.  There is a narrative behind each and every painting. Yet, Subjective Madness is the beginning of me giving myself permission to really “speak”, it is a vent. I realize and accept that I am an artist with many conflicting voices, all at odds.  This is a new direction that I will take, I want my paintings to be more symbolic and metaphysical. I have endless ideas that have to come out or I might explode, so many things to try and explore.

It is rewarding to help and engage students to become more active in the creative process.  I want to inspire creativity in the environment, and seeing student’s inspiration and enthusiasm is very inspiring and rewarding to me as well.  I intend to create an environment that encourages students to gain the needed skills to become independent, to think critically, and to find resolution in the work.  I want the students to feel comfortable and confident in my classroom. - Jessica E. Moore

Artist Statement

​This body of work represents a combination of my personal memories and explorations of relationships between humans and animals using a variety of mediums, including printmaking, drawing, and installation. I have lived in or visited Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Thailand. I explore these environments and others, both geographically and psychologically, using nostalgic imagery. I also use reoccurring motifs of animals as a metaphor, as a reference to the essence of the spirit of animals, encapsulating their human qualities. 

Another aspect of my work is the idea of how one rebuilds after turbulent times. Whether people are rebuilding a city after a destructive event or rebuilding themselves after a battle with cancer, there are commonalities. In most cases, weaknesses and fragility are overcome by emerging strengths. This idea that we adapt and reconstruct leads to a question:  How do we go about finding our inner strength following personal or natural tragedies? This is the question I seek answers for, and while I am not sure of all of the ways we achieve this, I do know that we are simultaneously fragile and strong. This is a fundamental quality of humans, the tenacity that defies our fragility. 

This concept of the resilience of the human spirit forms the basis of my work. My investigations of animals helps me understand the combination of fragility and emerging strengths.
