Jérôme Romain lives for fleeting moments, human behaviours and feelings that often pass us by in a flash. The selt-taught painter from Montpellier, France, photographs scenes such as these, but then does something markedly different with them. He painstakingly recasts them as oil paintings on canvas, creating hyper-realistic depictions of selfie-standard snaps, in a style inspired by the likes of Caravaggio and other classic masters. His images give a sense of history to the most contemporary of settings, and bring the technique of oil painting directly into the modern zeitgeist.
