Ceramic sculptures by Dominique Pouchain, produced around 1990, depicting three goats (the mother surrounded by two smaller ones). The artist, who comes from a family of ceramists, explores a pared-down style while retaining a strong expressiveness.
In the 80s and 90s, ceramics in France enjoyed a new lease of life, blending tradition and modernity. Dminique Pouchain is part of this dynamic, simplifying shapes without losing the animal's identity. The lines are angular, the surfaces textured, giving the whole a raw yet lively appearance.
These sculptures testify to his interest in the animal world and terracotta, a material he shapes with sensitivity. Rather than seeking realism, he captures the energy and presence of goats through a play of shapes and materials.
