About the Item

Je me cygnerai (with Luna) is a unique smoke-fired stoneware sculpture (cypress wood base, pigment) sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 180 × 60 × 60 cm (70.9 × 23.6 × 23.6 in). Dimensions include wooden base (cypress wood base). This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The sculpture portrays a seated figure, initially resembling a woman. However, the figure appears to undergo a metamorphosis, with the face transforming into that of a swan. 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.

Kristen Newell (American, b. 1989) Four Three Two One, 2015 Stoneware, porcelain and acrylic Signed and dated on bottom 16 x 15 x 14 inches Kristen Newell was born in a small town on the coast of Massachusetts, where from a very early age, she demonstrated a strong propensity for the arts.
