Born Jean A. Faure in Le Teil, France, in 1931, the artist known simply as "Jeanfo" has dabbled in painting and other art forms before dedicating himself to sculpture. "Sculpture must be lovely to touch, friendly to live with, not only well made," Jeanfo said. 'In its presence, we should respond and vibrate to life as we are able to see and discover beauty all around us. We must not try to make pieces of art which speak our language; we must go with them to the point where others will understand their language. He transforms steel into sculpture that imitates natural organisms in free formed compositions for private collections and public spaces.
