Salmon pink marble elephant with a carved saddle-cloth roundel
Elephant in Salmon Pink Marble Statue - 220cm $38,44900
Description

Seen in profile, an elephant stands with ears folded back and tusks thrust forward. Scrolling foliage borders the cloth around a central roundel, its edge scalloped where it meets the ear. One carved character occupies the middle of the roundel. It is not set down on this page - we would be supposing at its sense, and a supposition published becomes a supposition repeated. The pedestal beneath runs lotus-petal lobes top and bottom about an acanthus scroll frieze, that frieze picked out pale against the body colour. Salmon-terracotta marble, with cream-white running through the frieze bands and tusks.

Picking Passages Out Pale

The frieze bands on this pedestal are noticeably lighter than the stone around them, and that is not a second material - it is the same block, finished differently. A coloured marble is darkest where it is polished and palest where it is left rough, because a rough surface scatters light instead of letting it into the stone. So the carver polishes the body and the plain courses and deliberately stops short on the frieze, leaving it at a fine abrasive. The difficulty is consistency: the pale passages have to be stopped at the same grade all the way round, or the frieze goes patchy, and there is no way to darken a passage taken too far except to polish the whole thing and start the contrast again.

A salmon-terracotta stone is the one thing in this range that does not need a dark background - it separates from almost anything by hue alone, and it will hold its own against brick, planting, render or gravel. What it does not suit is company: put it beside a white marble piece and the two fight, because the eye reads the colour first and the carving second on both. Give it a position of its own. At 220cm the pedestal carries the whole animal above the eye, and the colour with it. The colour deepens in low sun and cools under an overcast sky.

Colour That Carries

Twenty to twenty-two weeks. Deciding which passages will be picked out pale comes before any cutting, because the frieze depends on it. The lobe bands and the acanthus frieze are cut, then the courses are polished and the frieze deliberately stopped short of polish to hold its paler tone. A separate block gives the animal - set standing, its legs held thick, the body then modelled and the ear folds sunk. The cloth is sunk across the back, its border and roundel cut into it. The trunk and its vessel are the final work. The tusks are worked from a paler stone and seated last. No pin, dowel or filler appears in the beast, and the pedestal beds dry beneath it. About 6,214kg between beast and pedestal, craned in order onto a concrete foundation cast beforehand. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.

Two large, black bear-shaped sculptures stand indoors near a window with a view of a yard. One sculpture is in the foreground with its back to the viewer, and the other faces forward, creating a mirrored effect. Trees and a chair are visible outside.
A shiny metallic bear sculpture stands on the corner of a modern buildings patio, mirrored by another similar black figure in the foreground. The area features minimalistic architecture with large glass windows.
