Ernst Gustav Herter (born 14 May 1846 in Berlin, Germany) was a famous German sculptor. He specialized in creating statues of mythological figures. Among his most famous works is "Sterbender Achill" (Dying Achilles), created in Berlin in 1884. The statue was acquired by the Empress of Austria and became the centerpiece at her palace Achilleion in Corfu, Greece.
Greek Mythology always fascinated me. The myth of the Trojan War and the personality of Achilles were my favorite stories, that I still re-read every year. This collage is made out of photos from the sculpture, I worked on digitally and printed them in different colours. Further I added spray paint and a thin layer of epoxy resin for this "rain-effect". The epoxy resin assures longevity as well.

ART INSPIRATION: Jerome's art is about capturing the essence, spirit, and energy of the world around him. Bringing it together, reflecting, mixing.
His main mean is mixed-arts / collage. He loves to divide and unite, giving things a new angle by fragmenting or assembling them.
Many of Jerome's paintings are distinguished by giving them a new twist, by taking new focusses, new perspectiuves, adding frames or colours.
He also is very interested in the expressive power of color and how certain colors can trigger different emotions.
ART COMMISSIONS: Jerome Cholet is available for Art Commissions.
DISCLAIMER: All of Jerome's artwork is hand made, so they have ripples, blobs, drops of paint, wrinkles, and bumps. For him art is organic, it arises from natural materials, it changes over time. He does not like clinically clean art, he likes change, maturation and decline. All three are part of life and his art.
