Little Boat : A Shared Daydream by Bérénice Fourmy

With "Little Boat", Bérénice Fourmy invites us into a gentle, intimate scene that feels like a whisper from childhood. Measuring 19 x 50 x 12 cm, this delicate sculpture features two figures in patinated terracotta, seated side by side on a curved oak barrel stave. Between them rests a small paper boat, solidified in clay—an echo of imagination ready to set sail.

The posture of the figures conveys quiet companionship and introspection. One leans slightly, hand placed behind the other in a subtle gesture of connection. The second gazes softly at the boat, lost in thought. The boat becomes a symbol, a silent metaphor for travel, hope, or childhood memory—infusing the scene with gentle emotional weight.

A Sculpture of Complicity and Imagination

The barrel stave, gently curved, transforms into a poetic foundation: is it a bench? A barque? A bridge between realities? As always in Bérénice Fourmy’s work, the narrative is open-ended, inviting the viewer to complete the story. Her minimalist style, expressive postures, and absence of facial detail heighten the intimacy of the moment.

The stark contrast between the blackened wood and the light terracotta emphasizes the clarity and calm of the composition. The result is a serene, suspended instant—fragile, universal, and deeply human.

Purchase a Contemporary Sculpture Full of Poetry

Available for purchase at the Galerie Bouillon d’art in Bordeaux, and online, "Little Boat" is a perfect addition to peaceful interiors, children’s rooms, reading nooks, or poetic collections. It will appeal to collectors drawn to softness, symbolism, and the beauty of quiet things.
