Jules Franck Mondoloni
Whether painting people, monumental buildings or Boxers, Jules creates a unique fusion and moving freshness in his paintings. Spontaneous and sensual, his statues capture what for Jules is the romance of the act of sculpture. Kaoru Yanzse, BT Magazine
1947 July 2nd - Born on the Island of Corsica. He lives and works in Corsica.
Primarily a sculptor in the tradition of Michelangelo, Jules bears a soul forged by the multi-millennia sculptural tradition of the Corsican megaliths. Jules is equally passionate about drawing, painting, photography, poetry, and illustrated artists’ books.
His paintings of Jean Michel Basquiat, John Coltrane, Mike Tyson, and sculpture de-marginalize the cultural color blindness of gays, blacks, Asians, and native Americans by producing affirmative self-images. Jules illustrates evidence of a global identity. In painting and sculpture he is leading the way restoring dignity to the human figure through his elegance, symmetry, and repose.
1967-1973 - Art student in Nice and then in Paris at the National Institute for the preparation of professors for drawing and sculpture.
In 1968 during the barricades of the French student revolt in Paris, Jules Franck Mondoloni was in the National School for the preparation of drawing and sculptor professors. His dreams of studying painting were crushed when he was told that painting was dead. Nonetheless, he independently went to the Louvre and other museums throughout Europe to study the great masters: Poussin, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso, Rodin, Michelangelo; as well as antiquity: Egyptian, Greek, American, Asiatic; and the art of the Cathedrals, and, so called, "primitive art". He is an avid photographer and writer. His personal quest is the study of painting and the arts.
1973-1982 - After working for the "Maison de la Culture de la Corse" creating decor for the theater, Jules Franck Mondoloni was a teacher in the French National Education system for 15 years. During these years he made trips to central Asia, Turkey, Moscow and Leningrad, and throughout Europe.
