Born in 1964, Jean-François Bollié is a French
sculptor. The artist uses a creative process that
consists in first tearing away the material to better
reconstitute it. Simple and pure lines and bright
colors are the characteristics of his work. His
recurring theme, the human being, is restricted to
its simplest appearance in order to preserve only
the harmony of the lines. Through this removal of
details, Jean-François Bollié addresses universal
and conceptual themes such as love, human thought
or reflection. He is particularly inspired by his daily
life, which he spends on the beaches of the South
of France, alone to reflect on human life. His work
“la Plongeuse” has become a symbol on the whole
French Riviera, being exhibited on the seaside from
Nice to Cagnes.
