Declination around the vegetal world, plants, fleshy or graceful flowers, serrated coral of bronze and gold, copper-wrapped pistils, orchids rustling, lily of the valley, cadmium yellow stamen, acid green veins sometimes accompanied by an unexpected guest, insect-jewelry with iridescent carapace, the decorative objects of Véronique Rivemale in earthenware are deliciously poetic.
A playful but extremely precise imagination is at work. Deformation, twist of clay, grooving, smoothing, enamelling and re-enamelling, cooking and baking ... professional gestures at the service of a creation that uses tradition to better play with it. The initial forms in still virgin clay are as many blank pages, pretexts for inventing light trees, monumental mirrors set with pearls and lace like a haute couture dress, or soft-enameled pedestal tables of satin black parent of golden buttons, and worked like jewels.
Her objects always have a name, wedding vases such as "happiness", "sun lamp", "happy chandelier" ... Based on the passion of drawing, the pleasure of the line and the stories they tell us, the creations of Véronique Rivemale enchant us with their fantasy and elegance.
