After Beaux-Arts studies, stone carving and comics in France, Frédéric Lère arrived in New York in 1984 to specialize in mural painting. In Spring 2010, he moved to a new studio in the Fashion District. He works on oil paintings based on watercolors sketched during his trips in the US or abroad or the exploration of his neighborhood. He creates objects and screens, painted in oil directly on wood or canvas on cutout stretchers. Please, visite his website, www.fredericlere.com
