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

Great Bear in Kamchatka or Flying Fish

€7,800.00

For the latest version of the Kamchatka trilogy, I imagined a bear delighted by his miraculous catch, whose fish fly away like birds—a poetic image. He watches them peacefully and smiling. No matter, he has enough left to feed his offspring! For me, the bear symbolizes protection and the fish symbolize life. The warm brown patina beautifully highlights...

Bronzes

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...

Bronzes

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...

Bronzes

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.

Not too fast

€7,900.00

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...

€9,400.00

A mahout without a goad but whose enthusiastic trunk points the way! It is a sculpture in motion, whose grey patina with lighter backgrounds reinforces the presence.Presented at Antica Namur 2020

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...

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

Bronzes

Each his turn

€14,000.00

EACH HIS TURN could be a metaphor for the role of parents: helping their children take flight one after the other. And it’s not that simple, sometimes even quite acrobatic. This matriarch or patriarch joyfully helps her baby elephants to see further, higher !! I created a very rounded composition with a vanishing line, the baby elephant on the trunk which...

Kamchatka, the promised land of bears for salmon fishing! This sculpture is part of the "bear and fish" themed series that I'm still working on

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...
