With "Poetic Gathering", Bérénice Fourmy captures a tender and quiet moment of shared intimacy. Measuring 21 x 73 x 15 cm, this contemporary sculpture features five seated figures arranged side by side on a curved oak barrel stave—a material full of tradition and artisanal memory.
The figures, sculpted in patinated terracotta, exhibit delicate and expressive postures. Each tilt of the head, each crossed leg, each hand resting gently tells a story of calm presence and mutual attention. Some gaze into the distance, others lean toward each other as if to whisper something meaningful. Two small white birds placed nearby add to the sense of peace and gentle connection.
As in much of Bérénice Fourmy’s work, silence becomes the language of the piece. Here, we witness a moment of sisterhood, of shared reflection, or of silent transmission. The curved, dark wood of the barrel stave acts as a common thread, like a bench or a beached boat, grounding the scene in familiarity and warmth.
The artist invites us to enter this circle of trust—to listen without hearing, to observe these figures who are at once united and deeply individual. The natural and raw materials—aged wood and terracotta—enhance the authenticity and timelessness of the scene.
Available for purchase online at the Galerie Bouillon d’art in Bordeaux, "Poetic Gathering" is perfect for collectors seeking emotional, narrative artworks. It’s an ideal piece for warm interiors, gathering spaces, or areas of reflection. This sculpture is an invitation to slowness, connection, and collective contemplation, in a world where quiet moments are increasingly precious.
