Jean François Reboul

Jean-François Reboul, né en 1952 à Toulon, est un sculpteur.

Diplômé à l’École des Beaux Art d’Avignon, il réalise sa première exposition individuelle en 1980 à la Galerie Bernard B à Pont l’Abbé. Il a beaucoup été exposé en Europe et a participé à de nombreuses foires internationales.

Son travail tourne autour d’un thème récurrent, celui de la dualité. L’intérieur et l’extérieur, le vide et le plein et l’un et l’autre inexorable existe en partant du corps et de l’esprit. Il raconte aussi l’histoire où suscite le voyage, l’intérêt ou l’interrogation selon son travail.

Ses œuvres sont faites avec divers matériaux qu’il fabrique ou transforme (argile, ciment, béton, bois, pâte de verre, matières premières, enduits, assiette, etc) sur des formes simples et symboliques. La matière est substance et peut être à la fois lisse et rugueuse, blanche ou noire, fine et délicate ou bien épaisse et solide. Aucune technique n’est interdite car chaque matériau doit servir son intention bien qu’il possède sa spécificité. Reboul aime s’approprier de nouveaux matériaux pourvu qu’il le comprenne afin de mieux l’utiliser.

L’atelier actuel de l’artiste fut créé en 1982, cela fait à présent plus de trente ans qu’il y pratique la technique du Raku, un procédé de cuisson datant du XVIe siècle inventé au Japon.

Aujourd’hui Jean-François Reboul s’inspire des figures astrales, l’élément impose naturellement sa forme et son relief. Il varie ses techniques et ses approches en fonction du medium utilisé, qu’il s’agisse de béton pour de grandes œuvres sculpturales ou de céramique pour ses créations utilitaires.

Jean – François Reboul

Jean-François Reboul is a sculptor, born in 1952 in Toulon. He graduated from École des Beaux Art in Avignon. From his first individual exhibition in 1980 at the Galerie Bernard B in Pont l’Abbé, he organized his exhibitions several times in Europe and has also taken part in international fairs.

His works are done with various materials that manufacture or transform (clay, cement, concrete, wood, glass paste, raw materials, coatings, plate, etc.) in symbolic and straightforward forms. The matter is substance and can be smooth and rough, white or black, subtle and delicate, or spliced and solid. No technique is prohibited because each material must serve its purpose, although it has its specificity. Reboul likes to appropriate new material as long as he understands to use it better.

The artist’s current atelier was already created, back in 1982, where he began his journey with Raku technique having today over 30 experiences of a firing process developed in Japan in the late 16th century.

Today Jean-François Reboul is inspired by astral figures, his vision of letting the material speak for its form. He varies his techniques and approaches depending on the argil – whether it is concrete used for the big art sculptures or ceramic for the utility creations.
