Vincent Fecteau (born 1969) is an American sculptor based in San Francisco. ^{[1] [2]} He graduated from Wesleyan University in 1992. ^[3]

He is known for working with ordinary materials such as foamcore, seashells, string, rubber bands, paper clips, walnut shells, and popsicle sticks, and transforming them into beautifully precise handcrafted sculptures. ^{[4] [5]} Constructed of papier-mâché, Fecteau often works on several sculptures at a time, taking a year or longer to finish each work. ^[6] He layers materials and textures, revealing a painstaking creative process that alters significantly the original spherical shapes. ^{[7] [8]}

Fecteau's art has been included in numerous exhibitions, including the 2002 and 2012 Whitney Biennials, the 2013 Carnegie International, and a 2008 solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, Focus: Vincent Fecteau, New Work. ^{[9] [10] [11]} In 2005, the Guggenheim Foundation announced Vincent Fecteau as recipient of their fellowship. A MacAuthur Foundation fellowship (commonly known as a "genius grant") followed in 2016. ^[12] His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. ^{[13] [14]}
