Jean Tinguely - Sculptor





A Swiss Kinetic/Mechanical artist, his work being particularly abstract and surreal. A lot of it was a reaction against the overproduction of manufactured items in the increasingly industrialised society in which he lived. I'm particularly fond of the wit, charm, and irony of his objects, and the artistic and engineering wonder that they encompass.
