Composition 25-007 — Fire - Jérôme Lefebvre Deram
Composition 25-007 — Fire - Jérôme Lefebvre Deram
This work is dedicated to the energy of fire, in its most vital, intense, and transformative aspects. Inspired by volcanic lava and the surface of the sun, it explores a controlled passion, contained within rhythm, where power is never expressed through dispersion but through concentration.
The painting is executed with brush and palette knife. The highly textured surface is built up line by line, in a regular, almost repetitive gesture. This rhythm imposes a structure on the energy, channeling and restraining it. The fire does not explode: it is contained, organized, maintained in a constant tension.
The dominant reds, yellows, and blacks compose an incandescent palette. Certain areas evoke embers, hearths of heat, points of chromatic tension where the color seems to merge. The light is scorching, yet contained within a rigorous, almost meditative composition that prevents excess and transforms violence into controlled force.
Fire is explored here in all its symbolic ambivalence. It ignites, illuminates, and warms, but it also destroys, purifies, and regenerates. It is both creator and destroyer, a physical as well as a spiritual force, an energy of profound transformation.
This painting is a tribute to the husband-and-wife team of Maurice and Katia Krafft, whose fascination with volcanoes resonates with this pictorial exploration. Fire appears here as a total commitment, an absolute relationship with the element, bordering on fusion.
The work offers an intense, almost physical experience. It is felt before it is analyzed. It invites the viewer to embrace the power of fire without being burned, to stand as close as possible to the energy, in a fragile balance between attraction and restraint.
Dimensions: 80 x 80 cm.
The Artist:
Jérôme Lefebvre Deram was born in Dunkirk in 1982 and works in Northern France.
After studying law, he worked in politics for several years before entering the seminary, first in Italy, then in France, where he spent five years. Returning to civilian life, he continues his quest for meaning, unity, and transcendence through painting.
Behind this journey, one glimpses a complex man, rich in profound intellectual and human experience, who combines rational thought with an intense personal and spiritual quest. His work embodies a search for truth, a balance between intuition and reflection, and an exploration of human dualities, between shadow and light, chaos and order. Influenced by Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, and Lyrical Abstraction, Jérôme Lefebvre Deram's work continues in the tradition of these movements, allowing him to translate this intimate and powerful experience into the interplay of color, gesture, and material as a vehicle for profound emotions and meanings. His paintings become, for the viewer, a subject for reflection, meditation, and contemplation.
