Equestrian Statue of Louis XIV on a Table, by Isabelle Rey. Isabelle Rey is often described as being the heir to the celebrated painter and decorator Alexandre Serebriakoff. Serebriakoff was revered for his interior portraits of many of the grandest homes in France. Rey has produced some of the most exceptional pieces of art, some of which have been described as being almost photographic, due to their remarkable detailing and precision. Past clients of Rey include Oscar de la Renta and the late Dodie Rosekrans. ____________________________________________ #isabellerey #art #artwork #artist #painting #interiors #interiorportraits #louisxiv #kinglouisxiv #chateaubalsan #alexandreserebriakoff #postwar #contemporaryart #oscardelarenta #dodierosekrans #interior #oiloncanvas #oiloncanvas #ormolu #design #decor #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #interiordesign #interiordesigner #chateau #empirestyle #decorativearts #decorativeantiques (at Château Balsan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cddy02jId4g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A tribute to two cherished individuals ~
I began gilding preserved animals in the early 1990s while earning my BFA at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and they remain my favorite things to create. Out of all of them, this is my very favorite. This was a commission from 7 years ago but I have waited until now to post it because of the emotional nature of this piece and the meaning it has to its owner. The client originally commissioned it to memorialize her deceased black cat, named “Muse”. Then, only several months after having the sculpture in her possession, my client’s daughter died unexpectedly. As a result, this piece took on additional layers of meaning for her because she saw it also representing her child passing to the other side. I haven’t spoken with her since she relayed the tragic news to me, but I hope her memories have brought her comfort with the passage of time, and that this piece is among the things that evokes them.
TITLE: Musings of an Afterlife
MATERIALS: Taxidermy kitten, gold leaf, vintage ormolu mirror with opaque black glass insert.

The philosophical foundation of my work dictates no animal should die for the sake of art. Throughout the course of my career I have exclusively used humanely-sourced animals. Roadkill and natural deaths are my staples. Each sculpture is an hommage to the animal and a celebration of their enduring beauty in life and in death. Google me for more about the no-kill ethics platform I introduced and my role in its popularization.
