Cécile Raynal
Inès by Cécile Raynal - Female portrait, stoneware sculpture, hospital staff

2019

About the Item

Inès is a unique smoke-fired stoneware sculpture (pigments, cypress plinth) sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 57 × 14 × 25 cm (22.4 × 5.5 × 9.8 in). Dimensions include wooden base (cypress wood plinth). This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This sculpture was featured in the exhibition "A l'enfant qui nous garde". It was produced after the artist spent eight weeks creating art in a maternity hospital in Lyon. Throughout her residency, Cécile Raynal provided insight into both the patients' and the hospital staff's daily lives, of which "Inès" is a member. 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.

A Curious Nest
By Jenny Day
Located in New Orleans, LA
Retreating from the stress and chaos of the last year, I created another landscape; populated by an army of friendly creatures. Here the burdens of coronavirus, climate change, and political division are dismissed by hot pink kittens that arc gracefully through meter showers and owls that bury into beds of daffodils. In this place worry is edged out by the fantastic and mystical snails trail neon candy canes through the scorched earth. The apocalyptic is supplanted by the surreal and the allegorical. Anxiety followed me. The escapist reflects and distorts its shadow world, the real, a funhouse mirror...
