In his studies in pastel and in wax, he deepens his research on their movements, focusing on places such as rehearsal rooms and dressing rooms where he can observe their daily lives. The so-called "Jacomet stencil" process combines two techniques: the phototype and colour stencil, which allows for an unparalleled reproduction true to the work of an artist. ______After the sale, you can pick up your lots for free at the Cité Rougemont, 3 cité Rougemont 75009 Paris, from June 15th and by appointment only.
