Style and technique of artist Jean-François Fouillhoux  

Jean-François Fouillhoux has produced worked ceramics that are not attached to any particular movement. He is very inspired by celadon and its " greasy reflection ", working with various sculptural techniques including earthenware and glazed ceramics.

The life of Jean-François Fouillhoux     

Jean-François Fouillhoux (b. 1947) is a 20th-century ceramist still active today.

The ceramist settled in Mont-près-Chambord in 1976, and studied celadon. He creates and tests relentlessly, finding a rendering " following an error of thought ", satiny and translucent, which will become the stylistic identity of his creations.

Celadon, both a shade and a ceramic technique that appeared under the Huan of the East, allows him to achieve a certain serenity - even suavity, in the artist's words - in his work. He even speaks of infinite depth.

Ceramics allow him to see a clear evolution in his creative process, as the celadon technique constantly exposes the problem between definite and indefinite
