Private acquisitions Louise at the zoo, version 2 Sold out 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...

Private acquisitions Bear in Kamchatka 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... View
Private acquisitions 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! View
Private acquisitions 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 View
Private acquisitions 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. View

Bronzes Elephant in the garden €16,000.00 I took up the theme of my animal statue "elephant with a bird". The sculpture came very easily from my hands as if flowing naturally. The elephant is talking with the bird perched on its curved trunk, giving the sculpture an airy feel. A slate gray patina highlights the baby elephant's very textured skin. This bronze animal sculpture was made at the Harze... View

Bronzes The waltz €12,000.00 Two elephants waltz lightly, their“leaf” ears in the wind. I call them internally Baucis and Philémon as I call the hornbeam with two intertwined, “braced” trunks in my garden. Perhaps Zeus, who transformed these two old people in love into a tree, visited my studio, but I don't really believe in this honor! The Lalanne’s sculptures also often mixed... View
Bronzes African tango €4,100.00 A playful and recurring theme which refers to the surprising lightness and agility of big animals. The curves of the trunks respond to the curves of the hindquarters. View

Bronzes Couple on their knees €1,600.00 Here is the last available copy of this sculpture. I then worked a lot on the rhino/giraffe couple in a humorous way. I am very tall in the same way as the giraffe and, when I was younger, I was often subjected to the mocking remarks of men. On the other hand, in my sculptures, the rhinoceroses are small but admiring and envious of their slender... View
Bronzes From Hump to Hump €8,500.00 A little girl jumps from one hump of a camel to another. I consciously played with the exaggeration of the proportions between the two protagonists of the scene: the hieratic and majestic animal thus evokes a landscape, the color of desert sand, an elliptical statement of sorts!

The Studio Embarcation to Kythira Every new exhibition is an adventure. For the catalogue of the Musée de la Côte d’Opale, Christopher, the graphic designer, wanted the photographs taken on the beach in order to illustrate the title of the exhibition Bêtes à Musée, Sculptures in the Open Air. The photographic technique scared me and recreating an atmosphere around my sculptures was a real... View
Museum acquisitions The octopus / my neighbour From one octopus to another The octopus had always haunted her. Among the many animal documentaries to be found on the web there are some that describe this animal as one of the most intelligent of marine life. In the human imagination, it is a very disturbing animal. Moreover she had sketched and then sculpted her into a somewhat bigoted woman, as if... View
