Maison Lecan presents this rare and striking ceramic sculpture representing a stylized horse, signed Pouchain under the base.
Created in the 1960s, this work embodies the most creative period of ceramic artist Robert Pouchain, then based in Dieulefit, Drôme.
Pouchain's bestiary, often imbued with humor and rustic naiveté, finds a powerful translation here in an almost totemic form.
The raw material and deep black glaze, punctuated with matte and satin highlights, evoke earth, fire, and animality. The texture is remarkable: the mane and tail are carved into the mass, the body has powerful yet nonchalant volumes, and the elongated, almost hieratic muzzle.
This unique or very rarely produced piece is emblematic of Pouchain's universe, at the crossroads between folk art and modern sculpture. It would be perfect for a post-war ceramic collection, or as a statement piece in an interior with wabi-sabi, brutalist, or modernist accents.
