JEAN-FRANÇOIS THIERION

HEDEGÅRD, DENMARK AND
LA BORNE, FRANCE
B. 1960
CERAMICIST

A student and resident of France’s ceramic center, La Borne, Jean-François Thiérion
(B. 1960 Reims, France) reinvigorates the sophisticated precision of his vessels with
experimental gestures, transferring his connection to earthborn materials through his
hands. Each piece further blurs the lines of functional and fine art in its rhythmically
and vibrantly hand-painted engobe, a signature Thiérion has developed over decades.
