Catarrazat
Catarrazat
Sculpture. Tactile memory of the body and the mineral.
Catarrazat (Chantal Arrazat) is a self-taught sculptor who has worked with clay since 1985. Her first Parisian steps were taken in the ceramics workshops of the Théâtre des Amandiers and the Cité Universitaire, followed by art-therapy work with children.
In 1992, an encounter with the work of Preljocaj, Pina Bausch and Bagouet opened a new impulse: to fix an instant in clay or bronze. A year at the Fonderie Clémenti (2004) extended her practice to bronze.
Her series Femme galet, Femme lune and Cirrostratus make the body a landscape, and deformation a vocabulary. The faces are deliberately left indistinct — not unfinished, but open.
