I made a very large sandstone for the "Open Sky Museum" exhibition, Pompon Museum city of Saulieu in 2016. I have just edited from this sandstone two bronzes 1 and 2/8 "Great equilibrists" the latter acquired by the CPH bank to animate its garden.

It is an emblematic piece of my work produced in very large format. The roundness of the elephant contrasts with the erect trunk supporting an elephant to give a feeling of play and dynamism. I am gradually moving towards these large bronze pieces, because the sculpture is never more beautiful than outdoors, subject to the play of light.

Sophie Verger is a fairy who knows how to transform an emotion into an animal, a sensation, a felling in a recollected memory. She also suggests to us with a lot of humor a lovable identification with the animal model and beyond this observation the fact that in all her work, the child alone has its place with her, spontaneously capable of including the existence of the animal in her own fundamental values.

Sophie Verger combines anthropomorphic beings with human characters, and she mixes the human and the animal world in surprising ways. Through these mutations, her universe becomes moving, unstable, something is falling apart and uncertainty is twisting in it like a rift.

Sophie Verger plays with the pure reason of the look and lies the opposition of her interpretation.

Beyond anthropomorphism there is also, often, the notion of games. With animal representations worthy of Pompon but going beyond a simple realistic look, Sophie Verger sculpts poems, whole tales in one piece...
