Projects: Virginie Gribouilli takes us into a timeless mythological bestiary tracing many facets of life on Earth. Using cold porcelain, she sculpts the mysteries of the past, the common yet precious of our present, and a mythological projection into the future in a dark, surreal universe tinged with softness and elegance. She launches several &ldquo Osseus&rdquo collections. Animal silhouettes with skeleton armor, each addressing a theme linked to our relationship with the living. Osseus spiritus are the animals currently living on Earth, those beings we take for granted and yet neglect. The Osseus pestiferus are the cursed animals we have classified as harmful and dispensable. The Osseus infinitus are a tribute to extinct species, erected in the pantheon of eternal species in the history of the galaxy. And the Osseus mysticus are our vision of the world through mythological and legendary creatures. To complete the picture, she creates a futuristic mythology: the Animist Reign. Fantastic-looking animal skeletons carry on their backs the technological vestiges of our civilization. These Divinities are the fruit of our modern world. They have the power to satiate humans, lured and trapped by the soft light of progress.
