For more than forty years, Jean-François Fouilhoux has passionately explored the nearly infinite potential of traditional Chinese Celadon glaze. Yet his mastery has produced work that can hardly be equated with anything remotely traditional. His celadon alchemic potions, when used on his resolutely—some might even say aggressively—contemporary ceramic objects, form sculptures that the most celebrated celadon artists, curators, and collectors consider to be the purest examples of the supreme living master of this dimension of color, matter, space, light, and time. In Fouilhoux’s mind and hands, the ideal is a work of translucence inside with a satiny and polished outside. Worlds within the galaxies without
