Description

This captivating and textured work presents a dynamic assemblage of sculptural clay forms. Against a dark background, six anthropomorphic figures unfold, each distinct in its organic shape and expressive markings. The bodies, displaying earthy textures and colors, undulate fluidly, evoking a harmonious dance. Simplified facial features add a mystical nuance, while the use of red and pink hues contrasts sharply with the background, accentuating their vibrant presence. This captivating relief plays on the senses and invites personal interpretation, highlighting the power of transformation and fluidity. Each element seems to tell its own story, prompting the viewer to explore the work's rich symbolism and engaging in reflection on the unity and diversity of life forms.

Raâk

France

Presentation

Raâk was born in Brittany, in the Finistère region, in 1940. At the age of sixteen, inhabited by malaise, she painfully leaves "the gast country" for the capital where her quest for the Grail begins.

1975: The year of reckoning. The path she had taken appeared to her as a total failure which made her struggle in a serious existential crisis. The "safety net" writing that she has always practised becomes powerless itself and is no longer of any help to her.

1976: Raâk discovers a free creative workshop in her neighbourhood where clay is offered as a therapeutic material. And this is the unlikely ascent towards life, which finds strange and jubilant passages through the pounding of her suffering. In his hands, obscure latent forces heaped up by thirty-six years of heartbeats explode.
