About the Item

Wait (with Carole) is a unique smoke-fired stoneware sculpture (pigments, cypress plinth) sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 155 × 36 × 60 cm (61 × 14.2 × 23.6 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 artwork presents an ironic portrayal of a woman gesturing with outstretched arms and a punctured hand, evoking a sense of fragility and mystery. A bear cub stands behind her, watching over her. 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.
