"I want to get as close as I can to myself and the world." Claudine Monchaussé
"Claudine reaches for the earth to allow us to observe a primeval state we have forgotten." matali crasset, reading, Yvon Lambert Library, January 19, 2023.
In 1959, Claudine Monchaussé moved to La Borne, a village with a pottery tradition. Since then, she has pursued personal and private research on monolithic sculptures, whose textures are specific to stoneware firing in wood-burning stoves. She cultivates her own mythology and summons up in her works symbols of maternity and fertility. Her telluric output occupies a niche in the world since the artist made the choice of direct distribution forty years ago. This exhibition at Les Abattoirs is the first time the artist has been shown in a public institution. Exhibit design is by matali crasset, and brings face-to-face the work of Claudine Monchaussé and the menhir-statues of the Fenaille museum.
With the collaboration of Musée Fenaille Rodez.
