Cécile Raynal
Wolf's Dream by Cécile Raynal - Teenager portrait, stoneware sculpture, young

2014

About the Item

Wolf's Dream is a unique smoke-fired stoneware sculpture sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 180 × 45 × 45 cm (70.9 × 17.7 × 17.7 in). Dimensions include three wood boxes. This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity. In an effort to uncover realities hidden from view in daily life, Cécile Raynal explores the relationships between people, particularly those between men and women and between man and beast. The artwork Wolf's Dream explores identity in general and sexual identity in particular. 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...
