About the Item
A powerful and expressive modern animalier sculpture by Belgian ceramist Chen M, featuring a gorilla posed with striking intensity and anatomical realism. Hand-sculpted in terracotta, the surface captures every muscle and motion, lending the piece a raw, almost totemic presence. Signed “M” on the reverse.
Crafted likely in the late 20th century, this piece reflects Chen M’s signature style — emotionally charged, sculpturally refined, and deeply connected to the spirit of the animal.
Dimensions:
Height: 10.2 in (26 cm)
Width: 6.7 in (17 cm)
Depth: 6.3 in (16 cm)
Material: Patinated terracotta
Signature: “M” on the reverse
Condition: Good vintage condition with minimal wear consistent with age
About the Artist: Chen M
Chen M is a Belgian ceramic artist known for his expressive terracotta animal sculptures, particularly primates. His work blends anatomical realism with emotional depth, often depicting animals with dramatic gesture and presence. Though relatively elusive in the public eye, his sculptures have appeared in respected exhibitions, including the Hey! Modern Art & Pop Culture #4 at Halle Saint Pierre in Paris (2019), and are sought after by collectors of modern animalier and ceramic art.
This piece is a striking example of Chen M’s sculptural language — ideal for collectors looking for emotional power, technical mastery, and a strong decorative presence.
