Beautiful and magical sculpture by Lucien Ghormi. The elephant here is refined and sculpted in clean lines.
The dimensions are 100 x 70 x 50 cm. And like every elephant, this little one also weighs 150 kg. It is the first of a series of 8. The elephant is also hand signed by the artist. The work comes from Galerie Kamil in Monaco, the invoice is present.
Shipping after the auction in consultation. The statue is top-heavy, so it must be placed on the ground or on a pedestal. It is also possible to leave it in the Garden and keep watch outside.
His love for animals allows him, thanks to a contemporary vision, to preserve only the lines, characters and essential volumes of each animal to heighten them in a paean to stripping and purity.
Sensuality, serenity and aesthetics are omnipresent, underlined by the nobility of the chosen materials:
Bronze, marble and fine stone.
The artist, in a permanent care of "La Belle Ouvrage" and impeccable completion, himself chisels his bronzes and patinas in a painstaking search for perfection.
Exhibitions: United States, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monte Carlo.
