The Studio In top form large format Following a commission from a collector, I took up the theme of "EN PLEINE FORME" in large format. It's a very round piece. The little one perched on its mother's (or father's!) back gives the piece a playful, airy feel. The "protagonists" in the scene communicate with each other through a play of tender, amused glances. I constantly adjusted the... View
Bronzes The nurses €7,900.00 Little girls dream of taking care of animals, why not young hippopotamuses ? The curves of this mother are perfect for the kids to play together in complete safety. The matriarch is watching ! Sculpture all in roundness and softness. Silver nitrate patina "Animals remember. It's a very old story, maybe a myth or maybe not, when the earth was a garden... View
Bronzes Anadyomene Venus €980.00 The hippopotamus quickly joined my bestiary as its curves were plastically attractive. The hippopotamus was a symbol of fertility in ancient Egypt a symbol and is still a symbol very often collected by women. I represented him with his little ones, or ridden by chubby riders. Just for fun, I also created small anthropomorphic Venuses. A warning, in... View
Bronzes Bathing €7,200.00 Whilst leafing through a book of photographs donated by my daughter Claire, I came across a Keystone Agency photo taken from behind of a little girl in a swimsuit, with a towel around her neck, going for a swim with a baby hippo. An unusual idea since, a priori, I have never heard of anyone who dreamt of sharing their swim with this animal known to be... View
Bronzes The dog school €8,800.00 The little girl tells wolf stories to her very attentive dog (perhaps the wolf and the dog of LA FONTAINE). This sculpture is inspired by the recurring theme of portraits of children and their pets that started in the 18th century. Perhaps this is why the work is more detailed and realistic than usual. The sculpture is also exhibited at the Millet Museum... View

Bronzes Giraffe and her greyhound €4,100.00 Curved sculpture. I took over from a theme used in fashion! But there's no haute couture dress, but a very fine harmony between a recurring character in my imagination and my whippet dog named Edha. Tawny patina View
Bronzes Column of dogs €32,000.00 This column of dogs could have been several meters high if I had wanted to represent all dog breeds! I was content to model mine and those that I regularly come across in my village. Astonished, they wonder what possessed the sculptor to put them in such a situation. In real life, they hunt, guard men and livestock, run on dog tracks, or even console with... Add to cart
Bronzes The Cat’s Paw (by Marcel Aymé) €1,100.00 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... View
