Biography:
Jean-Claude Faucon (Brussels 1939 - 2006), visual artist, painter and abstract Belgian sculptor, belongs to the Madi movement.

He entered the Beaux-Arts in Brussels at the age of 16, then continued his training at Saint-Luc.
He is strongly influenced by Italian futurism like Balla, as well as by the geometric abstraction of the De Stijl movement (Mondrian, Théo van Doesberg).
His conception of abstraction also owes a lot to his meetings with Le Corbusier, during his vacation in Menton.
