With "Exotic Scents", Bérénice Fourmy presents an intimate and tender scene, full of softness and quiet reverie. Measuring 30 x 22 x 19 cm, this sculpture features two feminine figures in patinated terracotta, gracefully seated on a charred coconut shell. This rare pairing of earth and exotic fruit gives birth to a work that is both surprising and poetic.
The two characters, wearing white head coverings and dressed in simplicity, are captured in a moment of calm, almost meditative posture. One of them holds a flower or a precious object, appearing to inhale an imaginary fragrance. Their minimalist faces, characteristic of Fourmy’s universe, express a blend of surprise, contemplation, and innocence. Through this feminine duo, the artist evokes the sensuality of memories, inner journeys, and the beauty of suspended moments.
The choice of a charred coconut shell as a base is no accident. It grounds the piece in nature and reality while adding an organic, burnt texture that contrasts with the softness of the terracotta. This round, spherical base—like a world or a forbidden fruit—lends stability to the composition while evoking a faraway, warm, and enveloping elsewhere.
"Exotic Scents" speaks to the imagination through the senses: smell, touch, and memory. It invites the viewer to slow down, observe, and feel. The work hints at feminine complicity, tenderness, and openness to the world, with rare delicacy.
Available for purchase online through the Galerie Bouillon d’art in Bordeaux, this sculpture fits naturally into a refined interior, where art and emotion are welcome. "Exotic Scents" is a warm and evocative piece, perfect for those who appreciate the subtle charm of inner travel and memories we breathe rather than speak.
