Untitled LIX, Abstract (large size) is a color painting by French contemporary painter Ferle. This artwork is a unique piece and is part of the artist’s abstract paintings.
This canvas invites us to abandon any references we know to let us overwhelm by the spirituality they bear. This spirituality can seem to be in opposition with the violent gesture invested in the realization of the painting. The historian of art Emmanuel Dayde declares: ” In her work, Ferle creates new space, paints openness and doors to infinity towards a sort of spirituality out of the body itself. She opens a door leading to another space – a fourth dimension. Looking at her large color paintings, one feels close to the black hole, to physics and to the stars.” Between different varieties of colors, Ferle created a deep and harmonious rhythm which invites the viewer to meditate.

![The beasts (owl) | Cécile Raynal
The beasts (owl) is a smoke-fired stoneware sculpture by the contemporary French artist Cécile Raynal. This sculpture depicts an owl perched calmly, with a watchful gaze.
This work was created as part of the sculptural installation Les bêtes (The beasts), featuring twelve animals gathered around a cephalophorous figure. The animals, all of a similar size, break the natural scale and adopt sometimes unreal postures, accentuating the enigmatic nature of the scene. The artist explains this installation with these words: “Hybrid beasts and creatures, peoples, mass-culture: wolf, hare, fox, raccoon, goat, donkey, crow, feline, badger, world-tree, birder. So many motifs, subjects, metaphorical presences. […] They embody other spirits, other imaginations, other ways of seeing, moving and being moved. The peoples of the beasts suffer us, deplore us, since always and everywhere, we fabulate them. They represent us, they duplicate us. […] So I model great silences between man and beast, envisaging possible alliances. The future is only possible in an alliance, a common field, an earthy and spiritual heart.”
The installation Les bêtes (The beasts) has been exhibited at Cécile Raynal’s solo show À la table des Dames (At the Ladies’ table), at Montivilliers Abbey in Normandy (2025). In this historic site, long home to women, nuns and abbesses, the sculptor has chosen to present works combining portraits of women and animals. Cécile Raynal’s sculptures do not seek to seduce, and can even sometimes appear disturbing. Rough, they bear the marks of a passage through matter, through trial, and yet they stand upright, alive. They conjure up a world in which the animal, feminine, instinctive or rebellious side is embraced as an essential force. In the restored Abbey, the exhibition retraces the last fifteen years of the French artist’s singular career (more information on the exhibition here).
Cécile Raynal’s work oscillates between her studio in Normandy and residencies in places on the fringes of society: prisons, hospitals, convents… In these places, she creates clay portraits based on the interactions with the people she meets. Back in the studio, the artist extends this approach by drawing on a vast repertoire of tales, myths and literary references, giving rise to sculptures of animals and hybrid creatures, half-human, half-animal. Thanks to the animal figures in her pieces, the artist promotes to the viewers’ eyes the common language and the interactions between beasts and man.

![Sezione Aurea 08-2025 | Mattia Bosco
The artist’s process is profoundly different to that found in traditional sculpture, in which the sculptor starts off with a block of stone – which contains the desired and imagined form within – from which he removes surplus material. In contrast, for Mattia Bosco, the sculptor’s intervention is simple, confined and restricted, and aims only to draw out and purify the form already present in the stone. Form and material are thus inseparable: by nature, stone always leans towards a certain form and is therefore already a potential sculpture.
The artist selects the rocks that fascinate him, right there in the quarries, from among the extracted fragments. Providing them with a base, he positions them vertically or hang them and then sets about making his own mark on the surface of the stone, using rotary cutters. There is a relationship of collaboration between the artist and the material: “It is not a case of man on one side and the world on the other, […] the relationship between me, who is sculpting, and the material itself, is a tussle between two parts of the world, engaging in a show of force.”
