Corneille - Plaque Murale, 1998 - Exclusive ceramic wall plaque

Exclusive ceramic wall plate by master hand
This beautiful ceramic wall plaque from 1998 shows Corneille at his absolute peak as a sculptor and ceramicist. In this intimate, handmade creation, all his iconic themes converge: the mysterious female figure and the free bird, eternal symbols of beauty and freedom that run throughout his entire oeuvre.


The Plaque Murale - Poetry in Ceramics
With masterful control of the ceramic medium, Corneille has created a relief that is both painting and sculpture. The deep cobalt blue glaze contrasts sublimely with the natural white of the clay, while the incised lines display a vibrancy and spontaneity characteristic of the CoBrA movement.


The composition breathes the mythical world so characteristic of Corneille: a dreamy woman in profile, her gaze fixed on a majestic bird with outstretched wings. This symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature, between the earthly and the celestial, forms the core of Corneille's artistic philosophy.
