FOLON – AGENCY OF IMACINARY JOURNEYS – Jean-Michel Folon

This book is the catalog for the first exhibition in Japan in 30 years of Jean-Michel Folon (1934-2005), a leading Belgian artist of the late 20th century.

It covers his early drawings, watercolors, prints, posters, and late three-dimensional works, featuring symbols such as birds and the Little Hat Man. The light and witty lines made with ink and sumi exude humor and warmth, while the melting color gradients are beautiful. Numerous works that reveal Folon’s meticulous observation and thought gently liberate our senses, taking us on an imaginative journey beyond time and space.
