Holy cow!


The Swedish Cultural Center was not my only find at rue Elzévir... I also noticed the workshop of Judith Devaux, an artist who specializes in animal sculptures. Her work (made of bronze, mostly) can (or could, as I think it's over now) be seen in the Mouvance art gallery at Place des Vosges, but I love the way her mock-ups appear though the frosted glass of her workshop. From the number of art pieces on display I guess we can say she's been as busy as a beaver lately ;-) Do check her website for more.

  1. Alors—les vaches et les chats et les hibous, oh my! Judith Deveaux's work is perfectly charming (as is your use of the expression "busy as a beaver"). Here's another one I missed while staying nearby—oops, and good for you!

  3. I like how your photo makes it all look like an oil painting. The cow reminds me of someone...

  4. Love the way that the cow, at least I think it's a cow, is staring as if to say, "What are you looking at, frosted face?"
