Through the chemistry of the interview, the texts of analysis and the collection of numerous exclusive reproductions, this work proposes to discover the work of Jo Rome and the stages that today have honored the liar artist at the summit of his nature. A historical approach, but above all a sensitive search meant through a work that reminds us that we all have and have artistic qualities at one time or another of our existence. Particularly during childhood. This period of life is the central theme of Jo Rome's creations. The leitmotif that the artist removes is also on the subject to explore the contradictions, appearances and transcendence. Sculptures and bas-reliefs in cement or plastered on immaculate blanks, human and animal figures or organic forms in polyester in living colors, brut art where all the designs and surfaces, rugs or fragile fragments of small characters, compositions to the explosive colored gestures of tenderness, here is the art of childhood, and the art of modeling and painting by Jo Rome. Par les chemins de l'interview, des textes d'analyse et par la collection de nombreuses reproductions exclusives, cet ouvrage propose de découvrir l'oeuvre de Jo Rome et les étapes qui ont amené aujourd'hui l'artiste liégeois au sommet de son art. Une approche historique, mais surtout une recherche sensible menée au travers d'une oeuvre qui nous rappelle que nous avons toutes et tous disposé de qualités artistiques à un moment ou l'autre de notre existence. Particulièrement pendant l'enfance. Cette période de la vie est le thème central des créations de Jo Rome. Le leitmotiv que l'artiste remet constamment sur le métier pour en explorer les contradictions, les apparences et la transcendance. Sculptures et bas-reliefs en ciment ou en plâtre aux blancs immaculés, figures humaines et animales ou formes organiques en polyester aux couleurs vives, art brut où s'allient le dessin et les surfaces, toiles rugueuses ou fragments collés peuplés de personnages minuscules, compositions à la gestuelle explosive colorées de tendre violence, voici l'art de l'enfance, et l'enfance de l'art modelés et peints par Jo Rome.
