Almine Rech Editions is pleased to present ‘Jouer avec le feu’, a volume published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition by Johan Creten at the Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Orléans. ‘Jouer avec le feu’ is the largest exhibition ever devoted to the Belgian artist, bringing together 120 works (including eleven in the public space) and is divided into two parts, highlighting Creten’s artistic evolution by entering into his creative process for the first time, starting with the sculptures present in the city, which visitors can discover at the museum through drawings, preparatory studies and variants.

As an artist working in multiple media, from ceramics to bronze, Johan Creten brings together forty years of production, writing the genesis of his work. This captivating immersion offers an in-depth exploration of his work, revealing decades of inspiration and creation through his emblematic works and new pieces.

This volume, co-published in collaboration with Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Orléans and Perrotin, is now available for international purchase on our website.
