Juliette Clovis, a French artist, transforms the delicate medium of porcelain into a canvas for her surreal explorations of the female form. Her sculptures are a confluence of human, animal, and botanical elements, creating hybrid beings that evoke mythological narratives. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, with wildlife, flora, and spikes adorning the simple busts, masking their features and inviting contemplation on the relationship between humanity and nature.
Clovis’ work is a dance of life and death, where the porcelain serves as a metaphor for fragility and strength. Her figures are at once prophetic and historical, suggesting a rebirth of form or the reclaiming of nature over civilization. The sculptures challenge viewers to decipher their layered meanings, as they oscillate between beauty and the grotesque, familiarity and alienation.
