Fromages

Fromages (cheeses) is a collection of 200 drawings by Jochen Gerner, continuing in the tradition of his Oiseaux (birds, 2021) and Chiens (dogs, 2023) series.

This work, created with pigmented India ink markers on school notebooks, represents a new graphic experiment. From Roquefort to farmhouse Munster, including Tomme de Savoie, Époisses, Brie Noir, Comté, Brousse du Rove, Chevrotin des Aravis, aged Cantal, and even Babybel… The wide variety of cheeses depicted offers just as many possibilities for exploring the reliefs, textures, and shapes made possible by the grid, the layering of lines, and the combination of colors.

These drawings were created between March 2025 and April 2026, as Jochen Gerner wandered through culinary and geographical landscapes.
