In the 1990s, he pivoted to sculpture, focusing on statuary and working with both direct carving and modeling, which he then translated to bronze or stone. This is the first publication to explore the entirety of Folon's sculptural work. Drawing inspiration from the Cyclades, the Etruscans, from African masks and Indian totems, Folon's sculptures are characterized by their frontality and corporality.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jean-Michel Folon</b> is a Belgian artist. <b>Renzo Piano</b> is an Italian architect and was a friend of the artist. <b>Stéphanie Angelroth</b> is director of the Folon Foundation. <b>Marilena Pasquali</b> is director of the Morandi Museum in Bologna. <b>Allison Michel</b> is lecturer in the art history department at La Cambre, Brussels. <b>Isabelle Douillet - de Pange</b> is an art historian (UCLouvain). <b>Marie Resseler </b>is an art historian (UCLouvain).</p> <br>
