Je me cygnerai (with Luna) - Female Portrait, Ceramic Sculpture

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.

  • Passi - Male Portrait, Ceramic Sculpture
    By Cécile Raynal
    Located in Paris, FR
    This 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.
