The awakening of the Olympian goddesses..
Rachel Convers's two new creations, named Téa and Elena, are a celebration of the goddesses of Olympus. Imbued with an ethereal lightness, the majestic sculptures of Téa and Elena stand proudly, carved in a dazzlingly pure white marble, alabaster. This diaphanous dominant contrasts with the pre-established codes of the Collector collection, and affirms Rachel Convers's new artistic choice.
In the context of the goddesses Téa and Elena, the question of gender emerges. The two deities seem to transcend patriarchal boundaries, simultaneously embodying feminine traits as well as elements borrowed from the masculine register. The artist is once again seeking to establish the ambiguity of gender. The femininity of Elena, whose name refers to the sun, is immediately apparent through the flowers and the chignon. However, the artist creates a contrast by including a butterfly close to the heart, like a messenger of amorous disorder.
