FR : Avec En Afrique ou quatre éléphants heureux, créée en 2021, Sophie Verger raconte avec humour la naissance de son œuvre : elle voulait créer deux éléphants face à face reliés par un petit funambule sur leurs trompes. Elle les a finalement séparés, et le rescapé est devenu père de trois éléphanteaux complices.

Assis, le grand éléphant tient en équilibre un petit au bout de sa trompe tandis que les deux autres grimpent sur lui. Cette sculpture en bronze à patine gris ardoise (26 x 17 x 12 cm), pleine de joie et de fantaisie, se pose sur une étagère ou un bureau.


EN : With En Afrique ou quatre éléphants heureux (In Africa, or Four Happy Elephants), created in 2021, Sophie Verger humorously tells how the work came about: she wanted to create two elephants facing each other, linked by a little tightrope walker on their trunks. In the end she separated them, and the survivor became the father of three playful calves.

Sitting down, the large elephant balances a calf at the tip of its trunk while the other two climb on him. This joyful, whimsical slate-grey patinated bronze sculpture (26 x 17 x 12 cm) sits on a shelf or a desk.
