Ceramicist, then sculptor, Catherine Monthulé expresses thus her love of soft, rounded forms. Presently created from the earth and resin,
and more recently from the noble materials of this art: wood and stone.
Consequently, the purity of lines intended by the artist, the fine, soft lines of the whole piece, portraying the ample, generous sensuality
of beings with a femininity full of promises, worthy of works given rise to by ancestral artists.
With Catherine Monthulé, every sculpture leaves her hands enriched by the impressive beauty of these attitudes. Serene fascination surges from it,
where the luminosity of the material and the insistent impact of a nobility mould in charm are deeply impressed.
What harmony! These couples with their amorous gestures, these attentive faces, these bodies whose limbs and suggested shapes contribute to the
timelessness of mythical realism and modern sculpture.
Here we see a work which captures life and expectations emanating from a calm, but troubling, talent which is always powerfully evocative.
