Jean Fontaine, a ceramist sculptor who is well known in the ceramic
art world, is back in Sarreguemines. After =22Terres du Fantastique=22 and
=22Zoofolie=22, he will be presenting his new travelling exhibition
=22M=E9canofolie=22 from 18 February to 24 April 2000.
The world of this sculptor is inhabited by hybrid creatures with
suggestive names, such as =22M=E9taphoreuse=22, =22Cyclotron=22 and =22Viole=
de
Gambettes=22. An intricate tangle of bodies, animals and heavy
mechanical parts, his ceramic chimera blend life and machinery, with
humour, perspiration and engine grease. These astonishing creatures
disclose a phantasmagoric world and illustrate a mythology of the
future.
