The first monograph in English devoted to Jean-Michel Othoniel,
this book follows the footsteps of a singular and secretive artist.
An artist who has a passion for all sorts of metamorphoses,
sublimations and transmutations, "Jean-Michel Othoniel"
(Saint-Etienne, 1964) has a predilection for materials with
reversible properties. His first gained recognition with a series
of sculptures made of sulfur, exhibited at Documenta IX in Kassel
in 1992. He is one of the few artists to combine a rigorous
artistic approach with a poetic sensitivity. Possessing a rare
ability to make use of the beauty of his materials, this volume
follows the evolution of Othoniels atypical approach. Beyond the
seductiveness of form, he creates a world inhabited by dreams and
enchantment, but also haunted by suffering and melancholy. The
artist, who entered into popular favour with his Kiosk for Night
Birds for the Palais-Royal Musee du Louvre metro station in Paris,
has exhibited widely and received commissions both in France and
abroad.
