Driver

Jeroz captures the romance found within the chilly undertones of urban life. Through his work, he frequently portrays scenes of men, adorned in fedoras, navigating the city's nightlife, with their features concealed behind sunglasses and mustaches, stirring intrigue. ‘Island,’ a figure wearing a fedora and a bulky jacket makes an appearance, invoking the ambiance of the 1970s in America. The artist reveals that the title of the work was inspired by a quote from a film that said, "A man is an island." He then metaphorically applies the term 'island' to the fedora-clad man who, in a world that fears ostracization from groups, is unable to mingle with others. The artist encourages viewers to harbor curiosity and envision the ponderings of the floating man within his work.

Jeroz captures the romance found within the chilliness of urban life. Through his work, he often depicts scenes of men donning fedoras spending their time in the city at night. Their facial features, hidden behind sunglasses and mustaches, provoke curiosity. 'Midnight Cafeteria,' a character sporting a fedora and sunglasses emerges, evoking the ambiance of 1970s America. This fedora-wearing man, unable to mingle in a crowd, arouses a sense of loneliness even in the midst of a warm atmosphere. The artist encourages viewers to feel curiosity and imagine the floating man's dilemmas within the artwork.

Jeroz stirs up intrigue by featuring characters with unreadable expressions. In his work 'So many holes,' a man donning a fedora contemplates alone, gripping a golf club in front of numerous holes. Set against a blue sky, the man's surroundings maintain a black and white tone, producing a cold atmosphere with hands rising from the holes. In this way, Jeroz portrays the unfortunate issues of modern society in a warm yet original manner.

Jeroz creates viewer curiosity by showcasing figures with indecipherable expressions. His work, 'The Man with the Surfboard Picture,' begins with the phrase 'He suddenly heard the sound of waves.' It's a piece created during the sweltering summer vacation season, portraying modern individuals constantly busy maintaining their places in the city. Amidst the relentless grind of daily life, they dream of peaceful respite. The protagonist of the work appears to carry a surfboard, but upon closer inspection, it is revealed to be a picture. In this way, Jeroz paints the unfortunate issues of modern society in a heartwarming and original manner.

Jeroz brings enjoyment to the viewer by encouraging them to imagine and expand upon the context of the artwork through his written introductions, reminiscent of a novel excerpt. His work, 'Yellow Eyed Cat,' accompanied by the introduction 'I don't know what you might like,' draws inspiration from a cat in the studio he frequently visits. He regards the cat as appealing and expresses his state of mind - of persisting until this yellow-eyed cat is satisfied - through his work. The deep saturation and contrast in light and dark show the warmth in the artist's portrayal of everyday life, while individual moving animation elements add fun to the artwork.

Jeroz illustrates the romance that dwells within the urban coldness. In a story-like circumstance, the character's sunglasses conceal their eyes and their moustaches cover their mouths, allowing the audience to infer and assume the facial emotions of people with unknown faces as situations in work. The strong saturation and contrast of the dark night reflect the location's temperature, and each moving animation piece contributes to the work's amusement. The introduction of the work is written as an excerpt from a novel, offering the audience the opportunity to explore the content before and after it. The artist hopes that the universe shown in the painting is a world that is both cool and romantic, and in which the viewer lives fiercely.
