"MECANOFOLIE"

Jean Fontaine, a ceramist sculptor who is well known in the ceramic
art world, is back in Sarreguemines. After Terres du Fantastique and
Zoofolie, he will be presenting his new travelling exhibition
Mecanofolie from 18 February to 24 April 2000.
The world of this sculptor is inhabited by hybrid creatures with
suggestive names, such as Métaphoreuse, Cyclotron and Viole de
Gambettes. 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.
