He lived in this house entirely covered with white tiled for24 years, before destroying it. His favorite sources of inspiration are: road signs, pots, white tiles framed with black joints. His sources exist in many various forms and colors. Hence, his pots can be found gold-plated or covered with military camouflage and fluorescent colours. A giant gold-plated pot was exhibited in the Forbidden City in Pekin and then hung above the Potsdamer Platz building site in Berlin, before finding a permanent space in the Georges Pompidou Center, in Paris. Flags are an important source of inspiration as well, originating from Vietnam, Soviet Union, Cuba or France and giving a political aspect to his work. Some of the pieces of Jean-Pierre Raynaud are considered monumental. Among them, the Noirlac Abbey stained glass windows and the “Carte du Ciel” in la Grande Arche de la Défense in Paris.
