Elephant in Welded Bicycle Chains – Contemporary Recycled Metal Sculpture

Elephant in Welded Bicycle Chains – Contemporary Recycled Metal Sculpture
Large-scale sculpture depicting an elephant, crafted from bicycle chains assembled and welded onto a metal armature.

This work in an industrial and upcycling style captivates with the refinement of its execution.

The chain links create a remarkable interplay of transparency that visually lightens the mass of the animal while precisely defining its volumes.

The raised trunk, a symbol of luck and prosperity, together with the elegant tusks, reinforce its decorative character.

Spectacular in its dimensions, this piece will find its natural place in a contemporary interior, a loft, a gallery, a winter garden or a professional space.

Fine artisanal craftsmanship.
