born in Saint-Trond, Belgium in 1956. He lives and works in Brussels.

Michel François’s work developps itself since the 80’s using recycling as an operating method. Sculpture is a fundamental practice in his work, and covers photography, video, installation as well as performance to adresse issues of space, volume and balance, whatever the medium used.

Recurrent preoccupations ermerge from the heart of this proliferating, surging work : living material in all its forms, the ordering of forces and the metaphore of imprisonment. Michel François’objects, images and volumes ceaselessly change and bond, a replay of a growing natural process, and become transitory forms.
