Jerome Mesnager

Biography

In 1974, Jérôme Mesnager enrolled at the Boulle school, where he did his carpentry training and later became a teacher. In 1979, he took comic lessons from Yves Got and Georges Pichard. They were professors at the Duperré School of Applied Arts.

In 1982, he was one of the founders of Zig-Zag, a group of about ten very young artists who decided to occupy the streets by painting graffiti and also, for a short time, to occupy abandoned factories for an artistic performance.

He invented the Man in White, "a symbol of light, strength and peace", on January 16, 1983. From the walls of Paris to the Great Wall of China, Jérôme Mesnager has reproduced this white silhouette all over the world.
