ARTWORK DESCRIPTION: Porcupines are the victim of increasingly active poaching. They are hunted for bezoars, which are lumps of undigested food found in their bowels and used in some traditional Asian medicines. Pascale has created her endearingly rotund bronze sculpture ‘Porkipic’ in the hope that he does not join the list of endangered species. Edition of 8. Only one available for sale.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Pascale Benéteau has always wanted to discover the world. As a young woman she decided to go to Africa, where she settled for few years. Later, her path led her to India and then on to Japan. It was in Japan that she discovered clay modelling which quickly became a passion. Self-taught, Pascale does not follow any particular trend, her years abroad influencing her mark and defining her style, which is very recognisable today. In 2022 she was awarded the Prize François Pompon for all of her work. Currently Pascale is living and working in Normandy.
