Sculptures for gardens

Medium to large format sculptures which will easily find their place in gardens and over time will acquire a patina and embracing the site, exuding an incredible charm. Clay and bronze are living materials that interact with nature. I play with this interaction in my own sculpture garden, not hesitating to let lichen or ivy cling to a giraffe's dress to create whimsical designs. Here are some photos taken in the grounds of establishments, in collectors' gardens or in my own garden.

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...

Bears column with three balloons

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...

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...

The original bronze clay was presented for the first time in the remarkable garden of the Tool Museum at WIT DIT JOLI VILLAGE. The first bronze edition is now exhibited in the park of Château De Luynes, in the company of the BIG ACROBATS.

Elephant in the garden

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...

The memory of being happily seated on the shoulders of a father, a hero in the eyes of this little girl. Little by little life will change this image. I wanted to fix this moment of perfect harmony.

Column of dogs

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...

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...

Four pizzlys

To think outside the box, I tackled pizzlys, the fruit of an amorous encounter between Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears. “Coffee with milk...” bears. The song "Mélangez-vous" by Pierre Perret, which should be part of the school repertoire, is not far off the mark. Bears are not racist and they try to see further by perching on top of each other!

This young giraffe woman with a proud bearing has adorned herself with necklaces and bracelets to come to meet us, one might think. The rings encircling her neck represent for me the social pressure that she transcends with her elegance.Lady Georgiana Cavendish beautifully painted by Gainsborough said that men had left women only their toilets as a means...

As a child, I was already much bigger than the other children and “giraffe” was my nickname in the school playground. In fact, this resemblance pleased me. This peaceful animal has a lanky grace, airy and wild and with large soft eyes. It is one of the rare animals which dates back to prehistoric times and one with which we can identify emotionally....

This bronze animal sculpture, both dynamic and rounded, is currently presented by the Platini gallery in Crans Montana. Switzerland is one of the traditional territories of the bear, and so I’m delighted to see it set up “in the city”. Outdoors, sculptures tent to take on a whole new dimension. The changing play of light brings out different angles of...

A mother carries her two daughters on her back. It’s up to everyone to imagine what they contemplate together, peacefully, in a beautiful visionary impulse. A better future for their sisters? I like this sentence from Jean Giraudoux: “Adam firmly believes that he was chased out of the earthly paradise. Eve is not sure at all, and acts, in any case, as if...
