L'observateur, Contemporary sculpture at Jardin des plantes, Nantes, France.
L'Observateur is a metal sculpture created by Jean Jullien that depicts a character appearing to watch visitors from its position within the botanical garden of Nantes.
This artwork was inaugurated in 2021 as part of the temporary artistic installations that have regularly enriched the Jardin des plantes de Nantes for over a decade.
Jean Jullien, a recognized artist from Nantes, designed this sculpture with his characteristic style that blends humor and contemporary references to create works accessible to the general public.
The sculpture is located in the Jardin des plantes accessible by Nantes public transportation, with designated pathways and facilities to accommodate visitors with reduced mobility.
L'Observateur is part of a series of metal characters designed by Jean Jullien that seem to emerge from a sketchbook and interact playfully with the garden's plant environment.
