Ceramic Goats Signed Dominique Pouchain Circa 1990

Ceramic sculpture by Dominique Pouchain, created around 1990, depicting a goat surrounded by two smaller ones. The artist, from a family of ceramists, explores a refined style while maintaining strong expressiveness.

In the 1980s and 1990s, ceramics experienced a revival in France, blending tradition with modernity. Pouchain embraced this movement by simplifying forms without losing the animal’s essence. The angular lines and textured surfaces give the piece a raw yet lively appearance.

This sculpture reflects his fascination with the animal world and terracotta, a material he shapes with sensitivity. Rather than striving for realism, he captures the energy and presence of the goats through an interplay of forms and textures.
