“Little cries of pleasure takes its title from a French tabloid’s description of the duet between Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg in the song ‘Je t’aime … moi non plus’. The installation of small heads and plinths hovers between sculpture, painting and drawing; the surfaces are marked by gesture and care.

Cups and small vessels implying touch and domestic use are reoriented to elevate the figurative heads, which merge personal portraiture with classical references and 1960s French yé-yé femininity. In their stillness, they suggest a quiet utterance — of intimacy, gender and material representation.”
