Five young ladies, friends or sisters, tenderly entwined chatting together. I have played on the sharing of their glances to animate the group. It will soon be a dozen years that I have worked on these anthropomorphic giraffes in parallel with my other creations. A way of expressing woman.
Sophie Verger is a fairy who knows how to transform an emotion into an animal, a sensation, a felling in a recollected memory. 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.
An absurd world, a human world, a world of humour. An univers of strange beings where man and beast were sometimes merges A world that nobody really believes in, but that must continue to pursue its existence. Condemned to exist. By echoing the complexity of human relationships, by remaining alien to received ideas, the world of Sophie Verger has lost its point of reference.
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.Exposities
