Cécile Raynal
Seated hare by Cécile Raynal - Animal smoke-fired stoneware sculpture

2021

About the Item

Seated hare is a unique smoke-fired sandstone sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 32.5 × 20 × 10 cm (12.8 × 7.9 × 3.9 in). This artwork depicts a watchful and active hare. However, the observer can see right away that it has a very noticeable hole in its belly. This piece stages the emptiness as a potential structure, as is occasionally the case with Cécile Raynal's sculpture. The empty space serves as the foundation for the subject, not the other way around. 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.
