MILTON JERON
Milton Jeron was born in Nicosia, Cyprus. When he was two years old, his parents moved to Brazil, where studied and graduated in engineering. Most of his art studies were autodidactic and some held at MAM (Modern Art Museum), ABRA (Brazilian School of Art), St. Martin School in London and at the Art Students League in NY. Jeron also studied under the guidance of masters such as Elias Murad, Tuneu, Peticov, Dudi Maia and Sergio Fingermann.
His paintings either in oil or acrylic reveal a colorful tropical richness, where insistent geometric forms stand out among abstract and figurative images. Obsessively a painter of forms diluted in bright and hidden lights, shadowy forms, defined by bright colors that break the serenity of the painting. In some of his paintings there are moments when Jeron lets the abstract impressionism dominate. In others, geometric forms determine the composition. It is the time of sensitive, poetic and lyric geometry. When Jeron said that: “painting is reflection. My reflection is movement”, his word echoed Klee’s.
Working also as volunteer in community projects for many years, Jeron defends the contribution of artists that aims at the solution of social Brazilian problems. Jeron has been developing artistic activities with children that are assisted and aided by the Division of Educational and Rehabilitation of Communication Disturbances of PUC-SP DERDIC (http://www.derdic.pucsp.br/). This work has been carried out in a joint procedure with professors and entity directors. It aims at stimulating expression in deaf children through plastic art instruments and visual art in general. In 2004 Jeron developed the project “Mosaics-Kroma Synergy." The work of the children from DERDIC was to elaborate a re-reading procedure of 10 works of this series of the artist's creations, simplifying the forms and ranges of colors in such a way to permit the elaboration of mosaics derived from the artist's works. Ten (10) mosaics were elaborated in sizes 70cm x 70cm that were applied on the concrete coverings of the tables used in the commons of the Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC SP).
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The artist creation revolves around the generation of both a territory and a space allowing the artist to express himself where he is looking to produce an incessant fascination and production of enchantment that are result through innumerous illusory processes. The work should tie the time. It operates as a spectator of a work in time. The spectator sees the route traveled by the artist. The artist isn't just an image producer; the artist's target is to produce something extra-ordinary.
