Jean-Paul Réti (alternative spelling: Jean-Paul Reti) is an artist and sculptor of French and Hungarian descent, established in France.
Biography
[edit]Jean-Paul Réti, born in 1946 in Brașov, Romania, spent part of his school years in Budapest, Hungary, before establishing in Paris, France, in the late 1960s. There, he became a student at Beaux-Arts de Paris, under the supervision of noted French sculptor César. In the 1970s, he developed commissioned sculpture work for artists such as Fernando Botero, Jean-Michel Folon, Jean Dubuffet and Pierre Klossowski. He became a resident of the French Academy in Rome at the Villa Medici from 1978 to 1980, and a recipient of the Prix de Rome.[1][2] In 1985, he established his workshop permanently in Les Frigos, a squatting art space in Paris, France.[3]
Work
[edit]Inspired by urban life, by radical anarchist political views, and also by botanic phenomena (e.g. roots) and environmental dynamics, the art of Jean-Paul Réti has been often compared to that of the Nouveaux Réalistes, especially through its connections to the work of César Baldaccini.[1][2] He uses a wide range of sculpting materials, most notably steel, also vegetable fibre. His work features in reputable collections, including the François Pinault Collection.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
