About the Item

Cat/bird is a unique smoke-fired sandstone sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 30 cm × 11 cm × 24 cm (11.8 × 4.3 × 9.4 in). This artwork ironically depicts a cat with a bird on his back. This piece is a part of the artist's growing narrative bestiary that has appeared more frequently in recent years. “All sorts of animals and hybrid forms inhabit my work, chimeras, somewhere between animal and human figures.” (Mémoires de Braise, by Cécile Raynal, Private Publishing House, 2018). 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.
