Bronzes Together €5,800.00 Last winter, a friend's little girl told her school friends that an elephant was living in her garage. It would soon accompany her to school when the weather cooperated, as elephants are very sensitive to the cold. I brought her story to life. It's a piece full of movement, with the child holding her companion's trunk to take it for a walk. Slate- gray... View
Bronzes Giraffe and her three daughters €5,900.00 I created this sculpture in memory of my impressions of a girl born in the 1950s. At that time the pater familias was all powerful and a certain feminine solidarity was then necessary to grow without too much damage. This sculpture could have been called the GYNECE (Greek term that has become generic for women's apartment, as opposed to the Andron for men... View
Bronzes On the trunk €9,200.00 This large sculpture joins the “Elephant and little girl” series in which they exchange glances. It is a very readable piece and imposes itself by a circle composition. The slate gray patina enhances the texture of the animal's skin. View

The sculpture is also exhibited at the Millet Museum... View

The matriarch is watching ! Sculpture all in roundness and softness. Silver nitrate patina "Animals remember. It's a very old story, maybe a myth or maybe not, when the earth was a garden... 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
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
