Story of a house on fire
In this series, the tension between figurative elements, naive scribbles and strong
graphic interventions provide a starting point to what is certainly one of the most
personal works of the artist. Story of a house on fire follows a linear and
chronological format of seven paintings. Traditional limits of the medium in use are
challenged and spontaneous actions are embraced in order to fully explore the
depths of the human condition.
Despite the feeling of continuity achieved through the use of similar elements,
colors and textures, there is a juxtaposition: figures rotate and transform
themselves, with it new details emerge and give way to new perspectives to the
story. Reflecting on the dialogue between life and death, the before and after, the
passing of time and the fading of the material, Jerusa Simone finds a way to
process recent events in her life.
