Cécile Raynal
The Skipper (Le Pacha) by Cécile Raynal - Male portrait sculpture, sandstone

2012

About the Item

The Skipper (Le Pacha) is a smoke sandstone, steel and cotton sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 50 × 31 × 25 cm (19.7 × 12.2 × 9.8 in). The sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The sculpture is composed by a smoke sandstone bust representing a male character and a base constituted of stacked working clothes. 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. This sculpture was created during a 90 days residency onboard a container ship sailing between Europe and the Antilles: ‘Ship Crew’.

    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.
