Games

€3,000.00

Variation of the bear and the cub I started from the theme of learning to create this very designed bronze. Its rounded shapes invite caressing! The protagonists look into each other's eyes in a mirror effect, the little one saying to himself “when I grow up”, and the big one” when I was little”, in a never ending game of generations. Brown patina with...

Great sokatira

I have returned to this theme several times. “Sokatira” means “tug of war” in Basque. These “tusk ropes” allow me to play on compositions while extending and you just have to watch baby elephants play to realize that they could participate in Basque games. Warm brown patina with lighter backgrounds Sold Out

New perched

A warm brown patina for this small, very slender version of the acrobatic elephants. The little one plays with the law of gravity, its paw balancing on the carrier's trunk. They look into each other's eyes, in joyful complicity.

Balancing on the ice floe

€7,200.00

I returned to the theme of the polar bear with his little one to this time finalize this acrobatic “parent-child” relationship in bronze. The teddy bear humorously punctuates this sculpture in a very pure way. I don't know if Paul Emile Victor would have liked my work but, in any case, I thought of him when modeling this piece. A nod to Apoutsiak who...

Drum Shaman Bear

€5,800.00

I discovered at the flea market a very beautiful old photo of a Central Asian shaman wearing a bear skin, the animal's head covering his skull. I also remember a scene from a western by the Coen brothers “TRUE GRIT” in which we see a healer on horseback covered in bear skin emerge from a dark forest, a rather exceptional scene. These representations made...

Giraffe and her three daughters

€5,900.00

I created this sculpture in memory of my impressions of a girl born in the 1950s. At that time the pater familias was all powerful and a certain feminine solidarity was then necessary to grow without too much damage. This sculpture could have been called the GYNECE (Greek term that has become generic for women's apartment, as opposed to the Andron for men...

Tickles

€2,500.00

What parent has not caressed their baby's belly, accompanying this gesture by affectionate facial expressions ? The glances they exchanged are then full of confidence. So, what could be closer to us than this bear playing with their cub? Small round and soft bronze with a warm brown patina

The hiker's dream

€2,700.00

A tale for big kids People now pay for sylvotherapy courses to hug trees; In 2000, the year this sculpture was created, a hiker got lost in the forest, which is a little scary at night, and ancestral fears quickly return. I know all about it, living on the edge of the Hez forest. (It doesn't take much for me to return from a sleepless night's stroll in...

Elephant boat

€10,500.00

Here is the bronze taken from the original clay created for the exhibition “BETES A MUSEE”. A crowd of elephants facing the sea on a fragile boat. Some spontaneously call this sculpture the Ark, a Noah's Ark which would house only elephants. Why not ? “To gain height, it is sometimes necessary to be able to count on others and, in a place largely devoted...

On the trunk

€9,200.00

This large sculpture joins the “Elephant and little girl” series in which they exchange glances. It is a very readable piece and imposes itself by a circle composition. The slate gray patina enhances the texture of the animal's skin.

Elephants entwined

€1,700.00

Small sculpture full of roundness and tenderness. “Ah, the joys of love!” is the quote from JEAN DE LA FONTAINE that came to mind while modeling this sculpture. But I don’t add, like him, “Goodbye caution!” » because my elephants are tenderly embraced forever, bronze obliges! From the initial sketch I softened the tusks to enhance their gentleness ....

The lovers

€3,700.00

The image of these lovers comes to my mind frequently. I have done several studies of it in different formats, including this one. A couple of bears who love each other sitting on a bench or a rock, may be a vague childhood memory of lovers of Peynet….

My ball

Everyone knows that baby elephants play ball and this one is having fun with a very beautiful red ball. I like to create these small sculptures that fit in the hand, like a breath between two large pieces, a bit like a poet going from alexandrines to haiku!

The favorite of both

A theme that I have often taken up, children and elephants pushing, pulling. The two little girls want to appropriate the same elephant who does not want to choose his playmate and is having fun with the situation. "Sophie Verger brings back images buried in our childhood memories and, beyond looking at what brings us so close to animals, invites us to...

The Cat’s Paw (by Marcel Aymé)

€1,300.00

This is a sculpture which is part of the collection “fits in the Hand”, rounded and created after having re-read the “Contes du Chat Perché” (The English version translated as The Magic Pictures and The Wonderful Farm) to my two little grand-children. Ideas thus arose from various readings. This little masterpiece by Marcel Aymé shares with us a...

Leafed elephant

What is striking is that there is no fear with Sophie Verger’s apparently strange creatures and I don’t fear them either. I reply to their wink that caresses me. Besides, no sculpture without caress. As a child, the first buttocks that I held in my hand were those statues in the Compiegne park. Sophie Verger would not have reprimanded me. She would have...
