About the Item
Donkeys’ skin II is a unique smoke-fired stoneware sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 30 × 24 × 26 cm (11.8 × 9.4 × 10.2 in).
The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This sculpture depicts two donkeys that appear to be alive but only have skin left on them. This piece presents the void as a potential structure, much like Cécile Raynal's sculpture does on occasion. The subject is not created against the empty space, but rather on top of it. This piece is a part of the artist's growing narrative bestiary that has appeared more frequently in recent years.
Cécile Raynal uses sculpture as a way of exploring the world, between documentary and fiction. Thus she often sets up her workshop in remote, forgotten or marginal places, that she goes over and then reconstructs in clay. A prison, a retirement home, a hospital, a convent, a cargo-ship… are among the places in which she invites the inhabitants to pose for her, so as to sculpt their portraits and capture these rare encounters.

Cécile Raynal
Whether human or animal, Cécile Raynal’s figures are a way to explore the world. The artist travels to remote, forgotten or marginal places immortalising in clay life stories that she brings back to her studio. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, 2018) and is the subject of ambitious public commissions such as the bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill in Cap-d’Ail (France). “The result of chance or sought-after encounters, my work starts with the sculpted portrait, a totemic record of each of these confrontations, and builds itself on the complicity, the exchanges and the correspondence resulting from them.”
