In 10 years, from 1987 to 1997 therefore, he achieved a very surprising journey. Here he is exhibiting his paintings with discretion but success, and who publishes two books "La fugue des anges" in 1985 and "Savage royalty" in 1990. Still traveling, around the world, of course, but also on an internal journey, Michel Jarrot accumulates over the course of sometimes dramatic human experiences sensations, emotions which he releases in his notebooks of preparatory studies and which he finally throws on the canvas, very often at night, after a long maturation. Very demanding with himself and with his work, Michel Jarrot does not hesitate to destroy the canvases which do not correspond to his idea of achievement. He also attaches great importance to his pictorial technique, to the composition of his media, to the mixture of his pigments.
Michel Jarrot has made personal exhibitions in several galleries in Paris, Brussels and New York, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions as well as in the "Grands et Jeunes d'Aujourd'hui"; fair in 1994, 1995,1996. The 1997 edition of this show will pay tribute to him. His death in his Paris studio at the age of 45 will deprive us of an exceptional painter, whose work already done can only make us regret not having been pursued any longer. Michel Jarrot's works can be found in several private collections in Paris, Brussels and the United States.
