Georges Jeanclos

Jeanclos is a highly regarded French sculptor. His work is delicate, using a grey clay body WITHOUT glazes- instead he relies on the surface of the sculptures to convey the message.

His work is influenced by his growing up in Europe during world war 2.... his family hid in the woods for a year, living like "savages",  in constant fear of being  discovered by the Nazis.
