FR : Avec The Elephants, So du Sud rend un hommage tendre à l’instinct maternel et aux secondes chances. Inspirée d’une histoire vraie, celle d’une éléphante qui prit sous sa protection un éléphanteau orphelin, l’œuvre montre la grande femelle, la trompe enroulée, veillant sur le petit blotti contre elle.

Ses formes facettées et sa patine brun gris aux reflets minéraux donnent à cette sculpture en bronze (25 x 41 x 18 cm) force et sérénité. Une œuvre pleine d’émotion pour les amoureux des éléphants et de l’art animalier contemporain.


EN : With The Elephants, So du Sud pays a tender tribute to maternal instinct and second chances. Inspired by a true story, that of a female elephant who took an orphaned calf under her protection, the work shows the large female, trunk curled, watching over the little one nestled against her.

Its faceted forms and brownish-grey patina with mineral highlights give this bronze sculpture (25 x 41 x 18 cm) both strength and serenity. A deeply moving work for elephant lovers and collectors of contemporary animal art.
