His ceramic production pieces were made in collaboration with Sleiss of Gmunden (Austria), Bing & Grøndahl, Copenhagen and Manufacture nationale de Sèvres.

His earliest works were wood carvings however these rapidly evolved into bronze castings of athletes, dancers, centaurs, and classically inspired male and female torsos.

Jean Rene Gauguin exhibited several works created for B§G at the seminal 1925 Paris 'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs'.

His large stoneware sculptural groups with themes from mythology won him critical acclaim and an article in the October issue of the influential revue 'Art et Décoration'.

He equally showed a massive silver guild hall chalice created in collaboration with Georg Jensen and Anton Rosen.

Referred to as La Fontaine de Chine, no sign of this structure exists today and its whereabouts remain a mystery.

On April 6, 1932, Jean René Gauguin leapt off a ten-meter diving board into the gigantic swimming pool of the resort town of Havested.

Inspired by the myths of Europa and Poseidon, it dominated a massive public swimming pool where it was totally destroyed by a falling scaffolding on June 14, 1952.

The production pieces he created for Bing § Grondahl were executed in polychrome glazed stoneware or porcelain for the smaller figures.

In his studio pieces he often opted for rough surfaced unglazed stoneware, witness his impressive urns with Chinese inspired temple dogs as lid handles.

His work interpreted the vibrant bright color spectrum used by Scandinavian painters of the early years of the 20th century onto stoneware.

With his mastery of the human figure he brought to life musicians, storytellers, athletes, dancers, and jockeys, and his capture of animal movement vitalized a whole menagerie of beasts, real and imagined.

Although there is to date no catalogue raissoné of the works of Jean René Gauguin, an excellent listing was established by Weilbachs Kunstnerleksikon in 1947.
