FR : Avec Ours chaman au tambour, créée en 2023, Sophie Verger renverse le propos d’une vieille photo de chaman d’Asie centrale vêtu d’une peau d’ours, et d’une scène mémorable du western True Grit. Ici, c’est l’ours qui devient chaman : dressé sur une patte, il danse en frappant son tambour, un collier de poissons autour du cou, pour invoquer l’esprit de la rivière et une pêche abondante.

Issue de la série « Ours et poissons », cette sculpture en bronze (48 x 32 x 24 cm) joue sur le contraste entre la patine brun chaud de l’ours et les poissons patinés au nitrate de fer. Une œuvre spectaculaire, pleine de mouvement et de mystère.


EN : With Ours chaman au tambour (Shaman Bear with Drum), created in 2023, Sophie Verger turns around an old photograph of a Central Asian shaman dressed in a bear skin, and a memorable scene from the western True Grit. Here, the bear becomes the shaman: standing on one leg, it dances while beating its drum, a necklace of fish around its neck, to summon the spirit of the river and an abundant catch.

Part of the “Bears and Fish” series, this bronze sculpture (48 x 32 x 24 cm) plays on the contrast between the bear’s warm brown patina and the fish patinated with iron nitrate. A spectacular work, full of movement and mystery.
