About the Item
This smoky sandstone sculpture represents a seated woman figure with the face of a swan.
For years now, the artist has been giving art courses to disadvantaged persons at a local social of Bolbec in France, called the Champ des oiseaux (‘Birds Field’). There, she made portraits of the people she met, particularly women and girls that she admires for their strength and tenacity. The portraits feature wings, beaks and claws that become part of the women's bodies, as to reveal fabulous connections.
Dimensions of the sculpture : 60 L x 60 P x 90 H cm
Dimensions of the base : 53 L x 53 P x 92 H cm
Total height of the installation : 180 cm

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.”

- Passi - Male Portrait, Ceramic SculptureBy Cécile RaynalLocated in Paris, FRThis portrait is part of a series of sculptures designed by the artist during an eight-week art residency at a private hospital in Lyon (France). During several stays, the artist immersed herself into maternity life, crisscrossing the corridors with her sketchbook or modeling there and then in clay the portraits of the people who she came across, health professionals as well as patients. These sessions, marked with sensitive exchanges, created clay figures caught within the very particular circumstances of these encounters: the expectation of a happy event, always tinged with uncertainty for the future parents; passion and tension, constantly linked in the healthcare teams work.Category
