Reprenant la thématique maritime chère à Line Vautrin, décorant déjà poudriers, boîtes et bijoux en bronze ou en nacre, l’artiste signe ici l’une de ses œuvres les plus rares, le miroir Huitre. Sirènes, poissons et autres représentations de légendes marines laissent place au seul travail du Talosel, suggérant tantôt le jeu des vagues sur la grève ou l’accrétion de nacre formant l’écrin du bivalve. Line Vautrin expérimente à partir des années 50 cette résine créée à partir d'acétate de cellulose. Elle en perfectionnera l'usage pendant plus de 10 ans, en révélant toute la dimension organique. Les flots de matière s’abandonnent à la main de l’artiste qui chauffe, taille et façonne avec souplesse ces fines bandes de résine jusqu’à l’obtention d’une forme singulière à la couleur, patine et matité indéfinissables. Empreinte de mystère, la résine est sublimée en une délicate coquille dans laquelle est déposé un miroir patiné unique, perle dont le tain mystérieux et irisé vient parfaire la poésie de cette œuvre.
Showcasing the maritime theme dear to Line Vautrin, already featured on decorative powder compacts, boxes and jewellery in bronze or mother-of-pearl, the artist signs here one of her rarest pieces, the Oyster mirror. Mermaids, fish and other representations of seafaring legends give way to her fetish material Talosel— suggesting playful waves on the seashore or the accretion of mother-of-pearl forming the bivalve's case. Line Vautrin started experimenting with this resin created from cellulose acetate in the 1950s. She perfected the use of it for more than 10 years, revealing the versality of its organic dimensions. The flowing materials allow themselves to be handled by the artist's talented hand. Thus, thin strips of resin are heated, cut and shaped until obtaining a singular form with indefinable colour, patina and a matt finish. Imbued with mystery, the resin is sublimated into a delicate shell in which a singular patinated mirror is placed, a precious pearl whose mysterious and iridescent sheen completes the poetry of this unique work.
