Sculptures

This gallery offers an overview of my work over several years, clay and bronze and a mix of all formats and eras. This overview is enriched by the pieces that come from the studio and to the work from my photo archives.

Bronzes

Prehistory

I exaggerated the proportions of VENUS DE LAUSSEL A LA CORNE a little to tell a story of aesthetic bears. The artist of the time is no longer there to contest this appropriation! 25,000 years ago, let our imagination run wild, bears discovered art in a cave in the Dordogne and the feminine beauty of that time. No wonder myths and legends from all over the...

Little bears with a ballloon

€2,369.67

A new version of learning born from an order. The balloon joyfully punctuates the whole. A warm brown patina highlighted by the red of the balloon.

Bronzes

Bears column with three balloons

€12,796.21

These three balancing bears complicated their act by juggling balloons. They are very focused because as in life they depend on each other not to fall the red of the balloons contrasts with a rich brown patina. I asked my young intern, Jackob, to write a few lines on this sculpture. Here they are : In front of these three bears, we feel like we are part...

The Studio

Autumn version 2

A mother (or father) shelters her or(his) little ones from the autumn chill. I've taken up this theme with a touch of tenderness and optimism. I'm going to make a bronze out of this beautiful ochre sandstone.

The visit

€2,274.88

This sculpture is a revisitation of the universal bear/woman myth : At the back, a little girl hibernates with her bear companion. At the front, the girls observe a second bear, whom they are about to welcome as an equal guest. Everyone can make the rest of the story their own. The visit is a work of art with everal readings. During my trip to Tahiti, I...

Two Percherons and their little riders

€7,393.36

I have always loved Uccello’s horses. An order from a collector led me to model these two Percherons with rounded and powerful shapes. I am obviously the opposite of the representation of war or tournament scenes: each of my “destriers” is ridden by a child, for a tender and joyful encounter.

Bear with three fish

€2,559.24

Well placed on its hind legs, this bear cub looking towards the sky thanks mother nature for having allowed him to do such good fishing. If this lasts, salmon would be on the verge of extinction!! It is a sculpture that highlights an expression of gratitude and hope. The slightly shimmering warm brown patina, brings out the green of the fish.

Bronzes

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...

A king’s feast

€2,701.42

The bear cub is very happy to have made such a good catch, the fish a little less so, but that's life! We all depend on the food chain. So here's a small-format sculpture on the "bear and fish" theme, which I always take up with great pleasure. The warm brown patina of the bear contrasts with the green hue of the fish, obtained with ferric nitrate.

Bronzes

Playing leapfrog

€2,654.03

I took up the theme of “the elephant jumps!” » in smaller format at the request of a collector. I sometimes have the feeling in life that I am jumping obstacles like this baby elephant under the benevolent gaze of its father or mother who encourages it. This very dynamic sculpture, a copy of which is on my desk, gives me courage in the morning! A light...

Bronzes

Lion and two cubs

€4,265.40

I created this sculpture to order (1/8) and then decided to release all the copies. The composition worked perfectly : a powerful lion with an abundant mane, tenderized by his two cubs. For the cubs, I chose to take up the theme of columns, stacks of animals, adapted to allow the boldest cub to rise to the father's level! A rich tawny patina is an obvious...

Together

€5,497.63

Last winter, a friend's little girl told her school friends that an elephant was living in her garage. It would soon accompany her to school when the weather cooperated, as elephants are very sensitive to the cold. I brought her story to life. It's a piece full of movement, with the child holding her companion's trunk to take it for a walk. Slate- gray...

Games

€2,559.24

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...

Walk

€7,109.00

Elephants continually migrate in search of food. This father (or mother) supports with delicacy and tenderness the youngest in this daily walk essential to the survival of the species. The tallest one follows obediently. I like working on these family images, dream reflections of our human families. For this moving sculpture, I chose a slate gray patina...

The three bronze Eves

€41,706.16

This large stoneware piece was presented in 2014 as part of the exhibitions "MUSEE A CIEL OUVERT" in Saulieu, "EQUILIBRE" in the Cour d'Honneur of the Sorbonne- Panthéon and during a ‘Printemps de la Sculpture in Chantilly.. A collector friend commissioned me to cast a bronze. The foundryman applied a patina very close to the original savannah-colored...

In the family

€3,696.68

The calm, attentive bear is the center of the world for her five playful cubs. I could have called this sculpture "Attack ! ‘The image of a father or mother mirroring his or her childhood. He or she has become an adult, and these children's games bring back memories of the past.

Bronzes

Balancing on the ice floe

€6,824.64

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

€4,928.91

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...

Louise at the zoo, version 2

€5,497.63

This confrontation between the powerful animal from prehistoric times and the small, fragile but fearless human remains a favourite theme for me.It's an image that works in many people's imaginations. How can we understand this? Is it the fascination that the animal world holds for us, both close and mysterious in our 'civilised' eyes?Our ancestors,...

Giraffe and her three daughters

€5,592.42

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...

Bear juggling fish

€5,213.27

A brown bear juggling with the product of his catch for his pleasure and that of his cubs. Entertainment is rare in Kamchatka. Few tourists to get their teeth into. The fish defies the laws of gravity, so hard on the sculptor! This animal bronze sculpture is part of the "bears and fish" series (which I have not finished exploring). Warm brown patina for...

Great sokatira

€4,075.83

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

Tickles

€2,369.67

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

New perched

€1,611.37

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.

Bear in Kamchatka

€5,592.42

A revisited version of FISHING IN KAMCHATKA, this sculpture tells an additional story. KAMCHATKA is the ARCADIA of bears, as the salmon resource is inexhaustible there. A fisch escapes : no big deal, the fisherman looks at the fugitive with amusement. He returns home with a determined step to feed his family, like the bear MARTIN of the fairy tales. A nod...

My favorite horse

€3,696.68

The privileged relationship of the little girl and her horse, a theme that I have taken up many times, inspired by my own daughters. The glances they exchange are full of confidence. It is a very readable animal statue and imposes itself by a circle composition. “The language of sculpture is composed of words of love and poetry,” wrote Zadkine. This...

Elephant boat

€9,952.61

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...

Bronzes

On the trunk

€8,720.38

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.

I started from the impression left on me by a photo of two embracing white bear cubs warming themselves in an excavation made in the snow. I made two brown lovers exchanging glances!

Elephants entwined

€1,416.67

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 dog school

€8,341.23

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...

Rhinoceros and his rider

Little girls dream of riding unicorns, but, proof provided by this sculpture, rhinos too. Fragility and brute force united in the same contemplation. This very "drown" sculpture is magnified by a slate gray patina.

The care that elephant groups take in the education and protection of baby elephants is well known. This matriarch avoids the fall of her little one with tenderness and humor. Everything that should govern the education of our little ones ! The position of the elephants is reinforced by the shape of the promontory which evokes a bit of a wave. A sculpture...

Two children and a baby elephant

The lovers

€3,317.54

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….

Surfing in the Falklands

€5,592.42

In the Falkland Islands, penguins surf, so nothing surprising in this sculpture, just perhaps the development (for them and for me) of a new figure that an animal photographer has not yet captured. For my part, I love the "butler" side of these animals with their clumsy gait which contrasts with their elegance in the water. This sculpture can be seen at...

Benbezela

€5,213.27

« Bembeleza » means “tickle” in swahili, in KENYA. It's a animal sculpture that I wanted to be joyful and tender, the game between an adult and their child. I see myself with one of my grandchildren...Animal sculpture for all the parents and grandparents of the world!!!

A bear named Sisyphus

€3,601.90

The rock I put down first turned into a fish.To each his own representation of the myth. For the bear, it's fishing and hunting to ensure its survival without asking philosophical questions, a Sisyphus who ignores himself. This sculpture is part of "the bear/fish" series that I continue to work on.
