CATHERINE FRANÇOIS

Published in November 2021, this important monograph illustrates the prolific career of the artist: thirty years of sculpture, from the more figurative works of the beginning, to abstraction and the assemblies of materials, with glass or resin, which announced the recent recycling of the scraps of all kinds of materials produced by man. Throughout these pages, and in the diversity of the successive periods of the artist, we find this guideline that asserts itself over time: to be the echo chamber of the messages of nature. The most famous of his works, “Tomorrow’s Man” installed facing the sea on one of the breakwaters of Knokke, did it not already say in 2009, the vanity of man facing the elements? His fragility? And the imperative need to be part of Nature rather than to dispose of it? A creativity that expresses itself with all the energy of the living.
