Ceramic storyteller

At The Ode To we are always curious to learn more about creativity and artistry, so we asked French artist Marion, the creator behind Léontine Furcy, to tell us a little bit about her life, her art and her sources of inspiration.

What do you call your series of artworks?

– Each one of my artworks is a unique, numbered piece called TRIBU. I often give them a name, too. I like to think of them like small people, like free and singular forms. The sculptural object is a component of a language of my own – strengthened and enriched when my pieces dialogue with each other in TRIBU.

What technique have you used?

– I work in modeling with the plate mounting technique.

What inspired you to create the artworks you have made for The Ode To?

– Anything can be a starting point for creation. However, my work is essentially the result of a free, intuitive, and instinctive gesture – the imprint of a moment.

Can you tell us about your artistic education?

– I'm an autodidact.

How would you describe your art and aesthetics in three words?

– Raw, minimal, abstract.


What we love about Leontine Furcy:

We love how Marion uses ceramics as a nonverbal form of communication, telling stories about shapes and textures.
