Elsa Sahal

Les vases sont debout, les potiches ont attrapé des jambes
2025
Elsa Sahal, an influential ceramist on the French scene, looks back on 25 years of work, a family of forms as many characters, developing their genealogy and weaving links between them. Often with irony and shamelessness, Elsa Sahal questions the principles of sculpture, but also the modern themes of art from which she draws many references. She questions the ways in which the female body is represented, as well as the clichés conveyed by gender. Her figures play with ambiguity, often combining feminine attributes and phallic forms.
