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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis 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 Othoniel's atypical approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond 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-Musée du Louvre metro station in Paris, has exhibited widely and received commissions both in France and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOthoniel\u003c\/em\u003e captures this essence, providing insight into the delicate balance of beauty and sorrow that defines Othoniel's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471320039660,"sku":"9788857214214","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857214214-othoniel.jpg?v=1775239312","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/othoniel-by-catherine-grenier-9788857214214","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
