Bronze

Ingrid Donat references the work of 20th century icon André Groult in this distinctive cabinet, translating his spirit into her bronze design. This piece is based on Groult’s Chiffonnier Anthropomorphe, a curved cabinet modelled on a woman's body, which is now preserved in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. Donat modernises the work, extending the legs and accentuating the waist of her Hommage a Groult, creating an evocative figure.
