Cécile Raynal
Hare and wolf by Cécile Raynal - Animal smoke-fired sandstone sculpture

2021

About the Item

Hare and wolf is a unique smoke-fired sandstone sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 33 × 42 × 16 cm (13 × 16.5 × 6.3 in). The sculpture depicts an ironic scene: a hare is being attacked by a wolf, but the wolf is completely unconcerned. This piece is a part of the artist's growing narrative bestiary that has appeared more frequently in recent years. 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.

  • Passi - Male Portrait, Ceramic Sculpture
    By Cécile Raynal
    Located in Paris, FR
    This portrait is part of a series of sculptures designed by the artist during an eight-week art residency at a private hospital in Lyon (France). During several stays, the artist immersed herself into maternity life, crisscrossing the corridors with her sketchbook or modeling there and then in clay the portraits of the people who she came across, health professionals as well as patients. These sessions, marked with sensitive exchanges, created clay figures caught within the very particular circumstances of these encounters: the expectation of a happy event, always tinged with uncertainty for the future parents; passion and tension, constantly linked in the healthcare teams work.

  • Birdcatcher by Cécile Raynal - Standing male figure, ceramic sculpture
    By Cécile Raynal
    Located in Paris, FR
    This piece represents a human figure with a tail and a headdress in feather. In this sculpture the birdcatcher, a man who is catching birds with nets and traps, seems to transform into a bird himself. In recent years, animals have taken an increasingly important place in the artist's production: "All sorts of animals and hybrid forms inhabit my work, chimeras, somewhere between animal and human figures." (Mémoires de Braise, by Cécile Raynal...
