Anoukis animal figurative sculpture, wolf, feathers by Laurence Le Constant
2019

About the Item

A N O U K I S (the wolf)- 2019 Unique Piece. H 72 x 126 x 41 cm. Recycled feathers of pheasant duck and guinea fowl on polyurethane foam, Nails carved in Saint Lucia’s eye. Eyes in glass and leather. Muzzle in leather. To create Themis, Laurence Le Constant was inspired by a manga called Ulysses 31 and l’Homme de Florès discovered in 2003 on the Indonesian island of Flores (recently extinct). According to local legends, this man was endowed with supernatural powers and possessed an extraordinary strength that allowed him to lift entire houses at arm's length. Themis of Ulysses 31 is a little girl of 6 years old. She comes from the planet Zotra and has blue skin. Her powers of telepathy, telekinesis and her prescience of the future made her a striking character for the child Laurence was. Her Themis, goddess of law and order, is a blue-skinned hybrid humanoid (in India blue-skinned deities have transcended death). She has no real gender and is ageless. Powerful and enigmatic guardian of the bubble-world that protects Sophia, she merges with the animals whose powers she wishes to acquire. Anoukis is a wolf-bird friend of Themis and protector of Sophia, the doe. In ancient Egypt she is the goddess of water, she is "the one who encloses". She has the power to fly and to read hearts. Themis and Anoukis are posted at the doors, of entries. They gauge the viewers and confront them with their inner questions. Laurence Le Constant first studied literature, but soon felt the imperative need to work with materials. Her choice fell on textiles. Thus, after a BTS in fashion design, she began artistic studies, focusing on textile design. She explored the techniques of embroiderers, weavers and feather workers. The ancestral gestures are transmitted to her in the workshop. Later on, she opted for a course of study in plastic arts at the Sorbonne and courses at the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. This sealed her desire to master the creation of the most elaborate materials, combined with fundamental plastic questioning. Since 2000, she has worked in prestigious haute couture workshops and has worked for Chanel, Dior, Emmanuel Ungaro ... The death of her grandmother in 2008 deeply transformed her and she chose her path, becoming an artist in her own right. Transcending death becomes the keystone of her plastic research. In 2010, she created the series My Lovely Bones, in homage to the one who was her inspiration. Since then, she has participated in group exhibitions in Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, Dallas and San Francisco. The work Micheline (from My Lovely Bones) became part of the permanent collection of the Dallas Museum of Art, in 2012. From May to the end of June 2014, the Géraldine Banier gallery hosted her first solo show Her Garden 2015 is marked by a series of collaborations with the House of Massaro. They will give birth to Suki, Eve, Daphne and Melle Ives. The alchemy that develops between the artist, the master bootmaker of the rue de la Paix and the watchmaker Roger Dubuis leads in 2016 to the creation of the limited edition of 88 watches: Velvet Greta. In 2021, the Michelangelo Foundation included the artist in its prestigious worldwide selection and chose to exhibit two of his works, Lovely Esther and Victorine, at the Homo Faber 2022 event held in May 2022 at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice.
