Cécile Raynal
Donkeys’ skin by Cécile Raynal - Animal art, large sculpture, fairytale

2021

About the Item

This sculpture represents two donkeys of which only the skin remains, although they seem alive. As it is sometimes the case for Cécile Raynal’s sculpture, this work stages the emptiness as a possible structure. The subject is created on the empty space and not in opposition to it. This artwork is part of a narrative bestiary that has taken a growing place in the work of the artist in the 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, Privat Publishing House, 2018). Dimensions of the sculpture : 190 cm × 90 cm × 73 cm. This sculpture is a one-off piece, delivered with a certificate of authenticity The sculpture includes a plinth that is not the same as the image, but will be made to measure. Total height of the sculpture with the plinth: 190 cm. Height of the two donkeys: 90 cm.

  • Tosca, Contemporary Bronze on Sandstone base Sculpture
    Located in WOOLLAHRA, AU
    Artist sculptor Taking her art from life and nature, Helena breaks down forms simplifying and playing with the uses of light and shadows. Sometimes staying true to a likeness, which is always the starting point, but sometimes her work will take on a much more abstract nature. Often she uses her experience as a graphic designer to create works with a digital starting point using flat plains that are then assembled into a 3d structure. Originally from the UK, Helena now resides and works in Sydney. Recently she has been working alongside Sculptor John Gardner. One piece that she was recently involved in was a commissioned 7 foot high cast bronze tree. They are presently collaborating on various other projects, as well as creating pieces individually.
