This event has ended.
At Gallery Teo
Media: Sculpture, Art Party

Born in Courbevoie, Hauts-de-Seine (FR) Jean-Pierre Raynaud studied at the Ecole National Superieure d´Horticulture in Versailles. In 1962, he began work that included the series "Sans Interdit." Raynaud often makes repeated use of the same motifs, such as a red pot. He is interested in issues of life and death, characterized in his use of white tiles. His own house is covered in white tiles. Raynaud participated in the Venice Biennales of 1976 and 1993, and in 1981 held a solo show at Hara Museum, where there is a permanent installation of his work. He also had a solo show at ATM Contemporary Art Gallery, Mito, in 1992.

Recent works by Jean Pierre Raynaud use all sorts of national flags. He produces the flags in various formats for installations. For Raynaud personally, the French flag serves as a symbol from his childhood, when he was placed under the protection of the French state after his father died as a result of a bombardment in 1943. He will show various flowerpot works at Gallery Teo and he has also especially made a unique flowerpot that was inspired by the Japanese flag after his works on the French flag. There is a 5m high red flowerpot at Faret Tachikawa as a permanent collection in Japan, and one 5m high in gold in front of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. His biggest pot, 6m high in gold, was just acquired by the Korean Museum in Busan for their collection last year. Also, we will show his recent flowerpot work in fluorescent colors. The biggest flowerpot we will show is 150cm high.

*There will be an reception with the artist on opening day of the exhibition.
