Born surrounded by the wild, and expressed surrounded by the wild. Marina Le Gal is an artist who reassembles the hearts of animals that have been cut into pieces by humans.
We will be holding a POP UP of her works, which take on the wild as their subject matter and challenge ceramics and paintings in a completely different style, as well as artist goods based on those works.
Her paintings of rocks, leopards, and crocodiles have become T-shirts, tote bags, and stationery, and before you know it, they're right in front of your eyes. A dynamic collection that resonates with your sensibilities and the memories of Marina's claws and fangs. We also have children's size T-shirts available. Parents and children can wear them together.

Marina Le Gall
ARTIST / CERAMIST / PAINTER
Born in 1986 in Quimperle, Brittany, France.
Studied ceramics at Paris National Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and Sydney University of the Arts. Since 2013, he has held exhibitions around the world, including Paris, London, and Brussels.
Currently, he continues to create ceramic works and oil paintings in Emense, a suburb of Paris.
The only tool he uses for his sculptures is a harp (thread) for cutting the clay, and he finds joy in creating things with his own hands. All of the animals she creates have shapes that are faithful to the real thing, but the colors of the glaze applied to them resemble abstract, moving landscapes. She describes her coloring as ``like taking a photo from a car window.''
By fixing the animal's movement (=life), he pays respect to the life and death of the animal. Furthermore, he believes that modeling animals will help him reconstruct the lives he has consumed up until now.
