Folon and his animation used as final credits for Antenne 2 (1975 - 1984), set to the composition "Wings" by Michel Colombier.

Jean-Michel Folon (1934 - 2005) was a Belgian artist, illustrator, painter, and sculptor. Folon was born in Brussels in 1934 where he studied architecture. In 1955 he settled in a gardener’s house in the outskirts of Paris. During five years he drew morning, noon and night. In 1985 he moved to Monaco where he worked in a big workshop surrounded by numerous artists.

Folon celebrated the hybrid businessman/white-collar worker as much as his fellow Belgian artist Magritte did (see Magritte's The Son of Man, a bourgeois man in a suit and the same type of fellow in this[1] Folon sculpture where he is holding a briefcase.

Perhaps Folon is the last Belgian surrealist although his naive watercolor work is sui generis.
