About the Item

Tire d’aile (with Natacha) is a unique smoke-fired stoneware sculpture by French contemporary artist Cécile Raynal, dimensions are 115 × 43 × 30 cm (45.2 × 16.9 × 11.8 in). This sculpture is a unique piece signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This piece portrays a long-haired woman, seated in the hollow of a block of cypress wood. She wears thick shoes, her hands rest calmly on her stomach—and a wing emerges from her back. For the past ten years, Cécile Raynal has undertaken artist residencies in secluded and often overlooked spaces—prisons, retirement homes, hospitals, cargo ships—inviting their residents to pose for her. These encounters become rich grounds for exchange and introspection, creating moments of shared humanity. Initially documentary in nature and cinematic in atmosphere, the sculpted portraits eventually detach from their models. Transformed in the studio, they shift toward fiction. As in all of Cécile’s work, the boundaries between art and life remain fluid. This sculpture belongs to the Birds and Mothers series, created in a social centre in Normandy—the region where the artist resides. This welcoming space, often a refuge for children and people in distress, is mostly frequented by women of all ages—women whose strength and tenacity Cécile deeply admires. Yet, as she explains, she has also encountered the emotional complexity of motherhood: both tender and possessive. These portraits are imbued with the layered lives and uncertainties of individuals with singular and compelling stories. The artist envisioned these sculptures as portals to storytelling—narratives that unfold “from the earth to the heavens.” As such, the figures evolve: wings, beaks, and claws begin to appear. The bodies of mothers and birds merge, forming hybrid creatures that express powerful, mythical bonds. These transformations liberate the sculptures from their initial figurative roles, revealing a universal language—a shared terrain between humans and animals. The photographs were taken at Cécile Raynal’s solo exhibition, À la table des Dames (At the Ladies’ Table), held at Montivilliers Abbey in Normandy (2025). Dimensions of the stoneware sculpture: 40 cm × 20 cm × 30 cm (15.75 × 7.87 × 11.81 in) Dimensions of the wooden base: 107 cm × 43 cm × 24 cm (42.13 × 16.93 × 9.45 in) Total height of the installation: 115 cm (45.28 in) This sculpture can also be purchased together with Future, as seen in the photographs. Dimensions of Future: 7 × 26 × 13 cm (2.76 × 10.24 × 5.12 in)
