About this artwork
Here I explore a classic subject from art history: the ballerina - but by choosing to represent unusual bodies, powerful, rounded, assertive. This choice immediately shifts the gaze: where tradition has often exalted the slender, disciplined body conforming to academic canons, I propose another form of grace, born of flesh, density and exuberance.
These massive bodies, far from being clumsy, exude vital energy and a stage presence of rare intensity.… Their volume does not confine them to a caricature: on the contrary, it becomes a vector of freedom. The white tutu, symbol of a strict and codified ideal, unfolds around these silhouettes to signify that dance belongs to all bodies, not just those that the institution deems "acceptable." It is a social reflection: I question our view of bodies, femininity, the ideal of perfection imposed by society. Here, grace is born from difference and questions our sense of beauty.

Cécile MARCHAND operates in a unique, pop and offbeat universe that plays with clichés and stands out with its humor.
The Artist brilliantly takes up the great themes of the history of Art through a form that is dear to him: hippopotamuses.
From Vinci to Degas...it is a rereading clearly updated and deliberately linked to our society.
At the crossroads, between the sacred and the pagan, she reinvents an anthropomorphic iconography where the body and the reverie that results from it are one of the strengths of her
work. These modern forms, sometimes close to the world of comics, combine with the elegance and power of oil glaze. The artist is not an iconoclast and does not desacralize the work of art, she claims it, questions it and questions our own "self".
Between tradition and modernity; humanism, lightness and commitment, she brings the Pop'art approach up to date, and
imposes its universe while creating an identity that is unique to it and recognizable among all.
