Jean Faucheur
Born: 1956
A pioneer of the urban art revival in France during the 1980s, Jean Faucheur has explored for several decades the boundaries between the human figure, the sign, and deconstruction. His encounter with Daum in 2002 gave birth to two exceptional works, Rêves and Le Masque de verre, which push the limits of urban art and mark a new stage in his career, where sculptural abstraction confronts the vibrant sensuality of crystal gla...

A pioneer of the urban art revival in France during the 1980s, Jean Faucheur has explored for several decades the boundaries between the human figure, the sign, and deconstruction. His encounter with Daum in 2002 gave birth to two exceptional works, Rêves and Le Masque de verre, which push the limits of urban art and mark a new stage in his career, where sculptural abstraction confronts the vibrant sensuality of crystal glass.
With * Glass Mask*, Faucheur translates his artistic vocabulary into an exceptional material, a new interpretation in amber or blue. The fluid and layered form of the sculpture suggests a face, a line, a presence in becoming. In constant motion, this work intrigues, evoking the permanent transformation of being and the ambiguity of perceptions.
For Daum, this collaboration embodies the very essence of creation: offering an artist a noble material to extend their gesture. The crystal paste reveals here all its nuances, between opacity and transparency, figuration and abstraction.
Jean Faucheur, as an explorer of forms and meanings, creates a piece that seems to float between solidity and ephemerality, between the visible and the sensed. A strong, magnetic work that affirms the potential of urban art to engage in dialogue with the rarest know-how.
