A fine example from French ceramic artist Dominic Pouchain, this pair of Toro wall sconces in dark ceramic with white accents depict an imaginary animal inspired by a bull.
Both pieces are signed
Dominique Pouchain - Born in 1956
Introduced to the art of ceramics by her parents (Jacques and Rolande Pouchin) at the age of 17, Dominique Pouchain is a recognized ceramist who lives and works in the town of Dieulefit in the Drôme.
Over the decades, her work has undergone many transitions, from utilitarian ceramics to ceramic art sculptures.
His world is populated by animal figures created using a traditional Mediterranean glaze (alquifoux) and a mineral (galena).
As a result, Dominique Pouchain's pieces are ceramics with dark, intense tones that absorb light, combined with accents of bright, intense glazes that reflect light.
