Jérôme Lereculey

Pencils, graphite and colored pencils are long-lasting. Pieces in wax crayon, black lead or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing. However, never expose them to direct light. Like all materials, the paper used for these works is susceptible to change when exposed to UV light.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made from pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity.

Born in 1970 in Saint-Malo and still based in Brittany, Jérôme Lereculey is self-taught, having balanced scientific studies with evening classes at the Beaux-Arts in Rennes and Mulhouse. He cut his teeth with the Atchoum collective, which he co-founded in Rennes, and developed his craft under the guidance of Michel Plessix, Lucien Rollin, and Patrice Pellerin. Noted for Nuit noire (Dark Night), a crime thriller written by David Chauvel that earned him the Ballon Rouge Award for Best Artist in Saint-Malo, he reunited with the same writer for an adaptation of Arthurian legends (Arthur the Legend), and then for the Wollodrïn series published by Delcourt, which he is currently illustrating.
