Jean-François Reboul is a sculptor, born in 1952 in Toulon.
He graduated from École des Beaux Art in Avignon. From his first individual exhibition in 1980 at the Galerie Bernard B in Pont l’Abbé, he organized his exhibitions several times in Europe and has also taken part in international fairs.
His works are done with various materials that manufacture or transform (clay, cement, concrete, wood, glass paste, raw materials, coatings, plate, etc.) in symbolic and straightforward forms. The matter is substance and can be smooth and rough, white or black, subtle and delicate, or spliced and solid. No technique is prohibited because each material must serve its purpose, although it has its specificity. Reboul likes to appropriate new material as long as he understands to use it better.
The artist’s current atelier was created already, back in 1982, where he began his journey with Raku technique having today over 30 experiences of a firing process developed in Japan in the late 16th century.
Today Jean-François Reboul is inspired by astral figures, his vision of letting the material speak for its form. He varies his techniques and approaches depending on the argil – whether it is concrete used for the big art sculptures or ceramic for the utility creations.
