Ceramic sculpture by Colette Coussy, France, 1980

This chamotte ceramic sculpture, signed Colette Coussy, is a unique and expressive work that captures attention with its abstract and powerfully evocative forms. The scene seems to represent two stylised figures in interaction, almost in dance or gentle confrontation, within a composition of taut and organic lines. The interplay of hollow volumes and interlocking silhouettes creates an almost theatrical dynamic, balancing tension and harmony. The matte glaze in shades of blue-grey and beige enhances the raw and mineral aspect of the piece, evoking inspirations from tribal or primitive art, while maintaining a strong contemporary energy. The sculpture is signed "Coussy" on the base. This piece is typical of Colette Coussy's work, known for her anthropomorphic sculptural forms and her explorations of movement, connection, and material.
