John Rothschild

Mons, Belgium
Artist (Drawing, Photography)
Born 1942
If it's in black and white, it's necessarily a dream ...

Born in 1942 in Brussels, John Rothschild is a Belgian artist specializing in drawing and photography. He currently lives and works in Belgium. After studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels in the early 1960s, he finished his first year in the "antique drawing" section with a first prize. He then continued in the "graphic, decorative and advertising arts" section, a three-year cycle crowned by a first prize with distinction, despite an interruption for military service.

Also passionate about photography, John Rothschild is recognized by the professional magazine "LIGNES" as one of "the young photographers who bring constant and progressive regeneration to photography, in a constant spirit of research". After working for a few years in advertising agencies, family imperatives pushed him to change direction, although he continued to carry out freelance advertising work.

Resumption of his artistic activity later, he devoted himself mainly to drawing, mainly using pencil on paper. His figurative style explores the female form, influenced by masters like René Magritte, Fernand Khnopff, Edward Hopper, Caravaggio and Paul Delvaux. His drawings, often oriented towards symbolism and the female nude, are much more than simple representations of bodies. They evoke real or imagined memories of sweetness and warmth, creating a reminiscence of fairy tales. As he himself declares: "Beyond a soft eroticism, my drawings are nothing other than illustrations of a fairy tale... A dream that sometimes turns into a nightmare. But the nightmare is also part of the dream, we must accept it."

In photography, John Rothschild captures spaces in detail, evoking a feeling of surrealism. He creates works that question and fascinate, playing with perceptions and realities.

He participates in numerous group and personal exhibitions, often receiving the public prize. His works are part of public and private collections, testifying to his talent and his ability to touch and inspire his audience. Those who appreciate his drawings often recognize themselves in the existence of an experience, a personal memory, thus confirming the depth and universality of his art.
