In spring 2024, Brussels is honouring the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon (1934-2005) and celebrating the 90th anniversary of his birth with a series of events and exhibitions. Brussels-born, Folon left Belgium at the age of 21 and very quickly gained international recognition.
In 2000, he set up his foundation in La Hulpe.
Between February and September, three Brussels museums and the Fondation Folon are offering an opportunity to rediscover the many aspects of this multi-faceted artist, designer, illustrator, painter, poet and sculptor who, eschewing the dominant artistic conventions, excelled in many different techniques and blurred the boundary between genres.
