The dog Marcel is a zany yet touching sculpture of a dog with only 2 front legs.
His name is a tribute to the film Le vieux fusil, recalling the massacre that took place in France at Oradour-sur-Glane on 10 June 1944. This dog, taken in by the film's Clara (Romy Schneider), evokes the simple joy of life and its fragility.
It is part of the CalbinoOz series, sculptures made from natural gourds from the south of France.
Quite light, the calabash wood from which it is made has been emptied of its contents, seeds and skin so that it can be exported all over the world.
Like most CalbinoOz, he wears a little jumper worked stitch by stitch (around 300...) in warm shades of emerald green mottled with blue and aniseed, and navy brown for the pants that look like a balloon...
Its expressive light green eyes are made of blown glass.
Materials: dried natural calabash wood, surfine wood cellulose, acrylic paint, varnish, blown glass, mahogany husk for the truffle.
Unique, signed piece.
Dimensions : H17 X W16 x D43 cm Weight : 386 g
paper mache, calabash wood, blown glass
