Cécile Raynal
Seated hare by Cécile Raynal - Animal smoke-fired stoneware sculpture

2021

About the Item

Seated hare is a unique smoke-fired sandstone sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 32.5 × 20 × 10 cm (12.8 × 7.9 × 3.9 in). This artwork depicts a watchful and active hare. However, the observer can see right away that it has a very noticeable hole in its belly. This piece stages the emptiness as a potential structure, as is occasionally the case with Cécile Raynal's sculpture. The empty space serves as the foundation for the subject, not the other way around. This piece is a part of the artist's growing narrative bestiary that has appeared more frequently in recent years. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
