English Jean-Fran\u00e7ois\u00a0Fouilhoux (1947), an impressive\u00a0huge\u00a0sculptural\u00a0ceramic piece with the title ‘Meandre’,\u00a0celadon glaze,\u00a0fired in a CO2 reduced environment.\u00a0This piece was bought by the first owners in Gallery Loes & Reinier International Ceramics, Deventer in 2001. About the artist Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Fouilhoux is born in 1947. He followed studies at the Ecole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Arts Appliqu\u00e9s , Paris, France. He is member of the International Academy of Ceramics. The artist about his work “I love clay. I\u2019m always moved to see the mark made by my fingers in soil. Clay remembers their lightest touch and retains the slightest motion transmitted to it. The mildest inflection \u2013 or even hesitation \u2013 leaves its trace. It is a recorder of emotions. Hasn\u2019t a scientist said that given the right tools, one could hear the sounds generated in the studio when a pot is being thrown because they are etched into its surface, like the first recordings of voices on wax cylinders? This highly singular property of clay is all the richer because the firing sets these marks and preserves their traces.Like the wall of a cave and pigment, or paper and pencil, clay engages with the hands and the body.I write in the soil. My pencil? A flexible blade that I bend at will. My medium? A wall of clay. I sketch in space by drawing the blade through the wall and slicing into its thickness. The line is a continuous one, just as with writing, and the volume takes form blindly, as imagined by the gesture. The form is then composed of two interlocking elements, separated by a small gap. We could say that each is a mould or an impression of the other, with a space that Marcel Duchamp defined as being \u2018infra-thin\u2019. They are born of the same gesture:\u00a0\u00a0 the trace left by the motion of the flexible blade is all that ultimately interests me.I then sacrifice one of the two parts, which I destroy to allow the impression of the gesture to appear. Traces of energy, of tension… Like a calligrapher, I have meditated on the gesture before executing it. It is a sort of dance or ritual in which the movement is expansive, dynamic, continuous and without regrets. The goal is freeing up the sensitive impression, after a privileged moment, by emptying its material content and reducing it to a skin, then bringing it to life as if suspended in the void\u2026 and simply capturing the energy of the gesture expressed in space\u2026 This is yet another story of fullness and emptiness, which is recurrent in ceramics. It is also the story of celadon \u2013 translucent \u2013 another symbol for completeness and void:\u00a0 both matter and light.
