About the Item
Girl’s dream is a bronze sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 155 × 50 × 63 cm (61 × 19.7 × 24.8 in). Dimensions include white wood stand.
The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The sculpture depicts a woman seated on a base made of pinewood. Her legs and arms are crossed as she stands. It is unexpected that this sculpture lacks a face because the woman's hair resembles the edges of a hole where her face should be. This sculpture depicts absence through the absence of a right foot.
This piece of art is a part of Cecile Raynal's one-of-a-kind collection called Les Ombres d'Alice. In order to offer the inhabitants of strange locations and universes a voice, the artist enjoys immersing herself in them. She thus challenges us to dream. One of the collection's main references is Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland, which transports the viewer to a lyrical realm full of bizarre and fantastical creatures.
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.”
