Descripción del Artista

Jean-Michel Othoniel (France, 1964) is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Paris. A multidisciplinary artist since the late 1980s, Othoniel has worked in various fields: from drawing to sculpture, installation to photography and writing to performance. In 1993, he started using glass, which became his mark. Since his first public commission in Paris in 2000, "Le Kiosque des Noctambules", his work has been exhibited in both museums and public spaces. Among them, the project of golden glass fountain sculptures in the gardens of the Château de Versailles, "Les Belles Danses", and "Alfa", an installation for the new Qatar National Museum, with 114 fountain sculptures. In 2019, a new series of paintings entered the permanent collection of the Louvre Museum. Jean-Michel Othoniel has held major exhibitions all over the world since his participation in the Kassel Documenta in 1992. He had an important retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris: “My Way”. It has been exhibited at the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art/Plateau in Seoul, the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, the Macau Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum in New York. In recent years, Othoniel has exhibited in museums and gardens at the Petit Palais in Paris, the Seoul Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. His works are currently in some of the world's most renowned contemporary art museums, foundations and private collections.
