Further images
I have always loved Uccello’s horses. An order from a collector led me to model these two Percherons with rounded and powerful shapes.
I am obviously the opposite of the representation of war or tournament scenes: each of my “destriers” is ridden by a child, for a tender and joyful encounter.
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...
Provenance
It is a very old story, perhaps a myth, perhaps not, when the earth was a garden where they lived in peace, an era of harmony and of games: the childhood of the world. It was a time when the children of men learned to speak the language of the seal, even before the forces of nature incarnates themselves sometimes in the hippopotamus, sometimes in the crocodile.Welcome Offer for Your 1st Art
