It’s a fairly old piece that I haven’t shown much. However, it is very emotional. Each on their planet, how to meet despite obstacles?

Yet the horses' muzzles almost touch, stretched towards each other. It is the animal in us, which dares before us.

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.
