Elaine PETO

Elaine Peto’s sculptures are literally breathtaking, because she renders to each subject, with a surprising simplicity of means, a plausibility that is both captivating and poetic. With staggering skill, the artist manages to evoke all the muscular tension and sexual power of the animal, all the postural accuracy, whether it is a bull in full parade or a hare ready to box for his base. Fruit of a meticulously observed realism combined with a technique filled with personal inventions, her art radically extends the field of expression of contemporary ceramics.
