born March 20, 1936 in Sèvres. After a career as an aeronautical engineer, he left his design office to devote himself to ceramics. In 1976, Jacky Coville buys, in Biot, the workshop of Roland Brice who was the ceramist of Fernand Léger. Jacky Coville exhibits since the 1970s, in France and around the world. His works have been presented since 1976 in Japan, Germany, Belgium and are regularly exhibited in Italy. With many awards, such as the gold medal of Faenza or Vallauris, his sculptures are often exhibited in situ, as in the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nice or in the fountain Saint-Sulpice in Paris, but also acquired by large institutions (FRAC Ile-de-France, National Library of France, Museum of Decorative Arts of Paris, Museum of Sèvres ...).
