Said to have “revolutionised the visual vocabulary of contemporary art” Jean-Pierre Raynaud lives and works in Paris. Launching his artistic career filling a flower pot with cement, Raynaud is renowned for La Maison, his house in La Celle Saint-Cloud near Paris that he designed and lived in from 1969 and which he covered obsessively with white ceramic tiles measuring 15 x 15cm. before having the house demolished and subsequently reusing the rubble. His focus has been to transform everyday objects into symbols charged with significant human concerns, combined with the bold, often primary colours of his work – and mass market associations – he draws allusions to Pop Art.
