About the Item
World-tree IV is a unique Smoke-fired stoneware and pigments sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 90 × 70 × 55 cm (35.4 × 27.6 × 21.7 in).
With the use of branches to represent trees or to "vegetalize" human and animal figures, Cécile Raynal has recently introduced the vegetal universe into her sculptures. World-tree IV alludes to Richard Powers' book "The Overstory", which is also known as "L'Arbre-monde" in French. The artist has looked into the world-tree theme multiple times. The piece of art was displayed at the Maurice Denis Museum in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, during the Rêves(s) de filles exhibition.
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.

Cécile Raynal
Whether human or animal, Cécile Raynal’s figures are a way to explore the world. The artist travels to remote, forgotten or marginal places immortalising in clay life stories that she brings back to her studio. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, 2018) and is the subject of ambitious public commissions such as the bronze sculpture of Winston Churchill in Cap-d’Ail (France). “The result of chance or sought-after encounters, my work starts with the sculpted portrait, a totemic record of each of these confrontations, and builds itself on the complicity, the exchanges and the correspondence resulting from them.”

Within the framework of a collective and cultural exchange, where the current artistic work needs conscious active voices, Claudio Jerónimo puts on the table an urgent discussion about the sustainability of the vital balance and the essential role of bees to maintain said balance. Communication, relationship, and reciprocal influences of the cycle that sustains life in the world, which in the service of "progress" has been affected by excessive and devastating human activity reaching a point of no return.
