“FATA MORGANA”

Description

As a visual artist, Sophie Nuncie brings together vast landscape compositions and delicate sculptures, odes to femininity and nature.
With great freedom of visual language, and a love of playing with multiple media (stoneware sculptures, large panoramic ceramics), she transcribes here her special relationship with nature.
In keeping with an animist tradition, the artist’s work reveals a universe of abolished frontiers.
In her sculptures, Sophie Nuncie presents nature as an indistinct whole where mineral, vegetable, animal and human elements mingle.
A symbiosis, a hybridization that nourishes her work and is revealed even in the delicate tangle of lines and folds in the clay, where fragments of bark, seeds and lichen sometimes intrude. Bordering on abstraction, her landscapes, between water and land, sky and sea, seem inhabited by the presence of creatures, sculpted in sandstone, sometimes cast in bronze: coral women, blue goddesses, rain gatherers or dryads, all illustrating a close connivance with the natural world and a fascinating hybridization process between dream and mythology.
For the Fata Morgana exhibition (to borrow from the optical phenomenon that, on the seashore, results from a combination of mirages), the artist presents a series of works featuring her creatures in strange metamorphoses and poetic moults, the better to connect with the natural landscapes that surround them and whose shifting boundaries echo them.
