Description
Ghyslaine and Sylvain Staëlens (French, born in 1960 and 1968) The Fish, 2007 High relief made from an assemblage of wood and painted metal. Signed and dated. Height 30, Width 50, Depth 10 cm. Provenance: the collection of Laurent Danchin (1946–2017), writer, essayist and art critic, passed down through the family. This artist couple have been working ‘in tandem’ for over forty years. Based in the volcanic region of Auvergne since 1995, Ghyslaine and Sylvain Staëlens create assemblages using volcanic stone, roots, wood and metal, which serve an almost talismanic purpose, bridging animism and popular Catholicism. Their works are notably featured at the American Folk Art Museum in New York. The duo are featured by Laurent Danchin in *Mycelium, génie savant génie brut* (Editions de l’abbaye d’Auberive, Auberive, 2014).
