Suzanne Larrieu captures here the essence of the indissoluble bond between a mother and her child. “Mother and Son” represents two busts with expressions marked by tenderness and gravity, sculpted in a simplicity that pays homage to universal emotions. The faces, modeled in cardboard and painted by hand, seem to dialogue silently, expressing a protective love and an eternal attachment.
The raw texture of the material gives this work a touching authenticity, recalling the fragility and strength of the parental relationship. The wooden bases anchor these figures, symbolizing the roots and stability that a mother offers to her child. Through this sculpture, Larrieu invites us to contemplate the depth of family ties, the serene gaze of the mother responding to the innocence of the son, in a harmony that transcends generations. “Mother and Son” is a work that speaks of transmission, memory and that love that, even in silence, is powerfully felt.
