Nadia Naveau is best known for her figurative sculpture. The typically seductive, surprising sculptures are the result of a balanced play with colours, shapes, scale and diverse materials such as plaster, ceramic, bronze, plasticine and polyester. Naveau's sculptures betray a certain postmodern twist because of their eclecticism. The process of 'recycling' and attention to its presentation is typical of Naveau's practice, which likes to test the limits of sculpture and constantly questions its autonomy and status. All her sculptures, however large or small, are sculpted by hand from large, rough blocks of clay. The clay sculpture is then fitted with moulds to cast the sculpture in the final material. The initial, tactile act of sculpting is often intuitive, which clay as a material also allows very well. Once the clay is a sculpture, it is moulded to cast the sculpture in the final material.The sculptures often contain multiple references that introduce a layering of content and form. The references Naveau draws from are difficult to delineate. She is fascinated by the images that surround her - however banal, weighty or art-historical the reference may be.
