Starting from the 3rd june 2016, Johan Creten is invited to invest the vineyard as well as the estate of the Château de Pommard (Côte d'or, France). A selection of of his artwork will be integrated both into the nature and the buildings surrounding, offering a powerful confrontation between this now legendary artist and this exceptional estate.Johan Creten (born 1963 in Belgium) is a Flemish sculptor based in Paris, working wherever he has the opportunity, from The Hague to New York, from Miami to Mexico. Considered a frontrunner in the revival of ceramics in contemporary art with Thomas Schütte and Lucio Fontana, he is also known for his large-scale bronze sculptures. Major examples of Creten's virtuosity were shown at the Galerie Perrotin in New York in 2015 for his solo exhibition "God Is a Stranger". He exhibited, among many other places, in the Renaissance rooms of the Louvre Museum, in dialogue with Bernard Palissy; at the musée national Eugène Delacroix in Paris; the Bass Museum in Miami; the Middelheim Museum in Antwerp; and the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.

Artiste phare de la scène de l'art contemporain, Johan Creten développe depuis 1993 une oeuvre exclusivement céramique - matériau dont il a très tôt saisi le potentiel plastique -, mêlant imagerie populaire, sensualité et beauté.
Ancien résident de la villa Médicis (1996) et de la Manufacture nationale de Sèvres (2004-2008), Johan Creten a rapidement connu une reconnaissance internationale qui l'amène aujourd'hui à être exposé dans le monde entier. Son travail, séduisant dès le premier regard, superpose avec habileté un traitement baroque à un esprit classique. Derrière les formes sinueuses comme les riches et attirantes dégoulinures émaillées se cache souvent une dénonciation assez virulente des différentes formes de violence faites à l'homme, homophobie, xénophobie, etc.
À partir du 3 juin 2016, Johan Creten est invité à investir les vignes et le domaine du château Pommard (Côte-d'Or). Une trentaine d'oeuvres seront intégrées dans la nature et les bâtiments, offrant une confrontation forte entre cet artiste désormais mythique et ce domaine exceptionnel.
