Jean-Paul Jerome studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Montreal, under Stanley Cosgrove. By the early 1950s he had shifted towards abstraction, and in 1955 he became one of the original founders of the Plasticien Movement, an avant-garde movement based in geometrical abstraction. After a sojourn in Paris, Jerome returned to the Ecole as an instructor, leaving in 1973 to devote himself fully to his art.
