Dans la savane captures a moving and tender scene of an elephant matriarch leading her two calves across the savannah — one walking confidently beside her, the other lingering playfully behind.
Inspired by moments the artist observed in Africa, Sophie Verger transforms this simple yet powerful gesture into a timeless sculptural narrative celebrating guidance, transmission and family bonds. The gentle rhythm of the composition and the expressive movement of the elephants create a sense of quiet progression and protection.
Cast in bronze with a nuanced patina, the sculpture reflects the artist’s distinctive approach to contemporary animal sculpture, where animals become poetic mirrors of human relationships. Both sensitive and narrative-driven, Dans la savane is an ideal piece for collectors of contemporary animal sculpture and for those beginning a collection centered on expressive bronze works.
