Balance 2000 - resin and painted metal - © Fondation Folon, 2016
Imagined and created by Jean-Michel Folon five years before his death in 2005, this magical place gathers his work and lovingly preserves more than 300 works created throughout his 40-year international career.
At the image of the artist, pushing the door of the huge book of his wonderland makes the entrance. This gigantic work provides access to the whole life of the man with the hat, this Mr. «Everyone» who sends his message beyond time and clouds. In music, the Blue Man spreads its wings and invites us to follow him in his virtual trips. Folon makes us fly in his images and guides us into tBheir labyrinths in their unique richness.
y working the most varied languages, from drawing and watercolor, he was able to communicate with ease and facility with the general public.
His style, very pure and delicate in its tones, allowed him to expose with great simplicity the world’s problems with regard to its ideals of beauty, peace and freedom.
