Private acquisitions Sokatira and one more « Sokatira » means “Jeu de la corde” in the Basque language. (Tug of War in English). The sculpture was designated to be exhibited at the Oeil de Price Gallery in Biarritz. For the birth of her third child, a collectioner at the Claudine Legrand Gallery asked that a third elephant calf be added to the first ” Sokatira”. This gave birth to a second... View
Bronzes Dressage €16,000.00 Large, very graphic sculpture made at the Chapon art foundry. The little rider on the sidesaddle on the highest perched horse is confident. The eyes of the horses meet. Perhaps they wonder about their ability to jointly maintain the balance ? “Because Sophie’s companions are rarely alone and because their ability to establish harmonious and playful... View
Bronzes Five Young Ladies €3,900.00 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. Expressing womanhood. View
Private acquisitions Elephant and his little girl A return to an emblematic theme in a larger format: The encounter between an elephant and a little girl, a moment of shared wonder andtenderness.Slate gray patina Sold out View
Private acquisitions The favorite of both A theme that I have often taken up, children and elephants pushing, pulling. The two little girls want to appropriate the same elephant who does not want to choose his playmate and is having fun with the situation. "Sophie Verger brings back images buried in our childhood memories and, beyond looking at what brings us so close to animals, invites us to... View
Private acquisitions Fishing in Kamchatka Kamchatka, the promised land of bears for salmon fishing! This sculpture is part of the "bear and fish" themed series that I'm still working on View
Bronzes Four pizzlys €11,200.00 To think outside the box, I tackled pizzlys, the fruit of an amorous encounter between Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears. “Coffee with milk...” bears. The song "Mélangez-vous" by Pierre Perret, which should be part of the school repertoire, is not far off the mark. Bears are not racist and they try to see further by perching on top of each other!

Bronzes Acrobats in the garden €29,000.00 For the exhibition "Sculptures en Liberté" and now to see in my galleries. The first bronze was produced for the "Sculptures en Liberté" exhibition organized jointly by the Val d'Oise Archaeological Museum and the Musée de l’Outil (the Tool Museum). The sculpture therefore spent the entire summer of 2020 on the lawns of the remarkable garden of the Musée... Add to cart
Bronzes Elephant in the garden €16,000.00 I took up the theme of my animal statue "elephant with a bird". The sculpture came very easily from my hands as if flowing naturally. The elephant is talking with the bird perched on its curved trunk, giving the sculpture an airy feel. A slate gray patina highlights the baby elephant's very textured skin. This bronze animal sculpture was made at the Harze... View
Bronzes Tender Games €7,500.00 Acrobatic games between “father-mother” and child. One of my favorite sculptures on which I worked a lot on the shape of the trunks which delicately touch each other. A variation of acrobatic elephants with knowing looks. Silver nitrate patina View
Bronzes Giraffe and her doll €5,900.00 During the Jean -Joseph Carriès exhibition at the Petit Palais, I was very touched by a terracotta “L'Infante” representing a little girl clutching her puppet to the point of breaking it, a fitting expression of the innocently destructive side from childhood. The idea of the theme of the little girl and her toy came back to me one evening and I modeled... View
Bronzes The waltz €12,000.00 Two elephants waltz lightly, their“leaf” ears in the wind. I call them internally Baucis and Philémon as I call the hornbeam with two intertwined, “braced” trunks in my garden. Perhaps Zeus, who transformed these two old people in love into a tree, visited my studio, but I don't really believe in this honor! The Lalanne’s sculptures also often mixed... View
Bronzes Column of dogs €32,000.00 This column of dogs could have been several meters high if I had wanted to represent all dog breeds! I was content to model mine and those that I regularly come across in my village. Astonished, they wonder what possessed the sculptor to put them in such a situation. In real life, they hunt, guard men and livestock, run on dog tracks, or even console with... Add to cart

Bronzes From Hump to Hump €8,500.00 A little girl jumps from one hump of a camel to another. I consciously played with the exaggeration of the proportions between the two protagonists of the scene: the hieratic and majestic animal thus evokes a landscape, the color of desert sand, an elliptical statement of sorts!

Bronzes Elephant Jump! €9,500.00 Lots of fun making this joyful sculpture with a strong presence.The little one jumps enthusiastically on the back of its mother or father, symbolizing the passage from one generation to the next.The adult's gaze is benevolent, ensuring that the child's reception on the ground is gentle.Something for us, humans to meditate...

The Studio Embarcation to Kythira Every new exhibition is an adventure. For the catalogue of the Musée de la Côte d’Opale, Christopher, the graphic designer, wanted the photographs taken on the beach in order to illustrate the title of the exhibition Bêtes à Musée, Sculptures in the Open Air. The photographic technique scared me and recreating an atmosphere around my sculptures was a real... View
Bronzes Giraffe and her greyhound €4,100.00 Curved sculpture. I took over from a theme used in fashion! But there's no haute couture dress, but a very fine harmony between a recurring character in my imagination and my whippet dog named Edha. Tawny patina View
