Tis large work is an adaptation of a smaller sculpture "Crocodilus fessus" based on a cast of my forearm(on display on Saatchi art). "Crocodilus fessus maximus" is like a new species, an hybrid beetween man (the forearm) and a crocodile (the eye and the green scaly skin) : it means "Great tired crocodile", I carved this sculpture out of a big block of polystyrene and I then covered it with several layers of flesh-colored molten wax and fiberglass. Then I inserted a large painted resin eye and made a shades of green patina on the scaly skin. Unique piece, must be kept away from direct heat. Possible cast in resin or bronze, information and estimate on request.

France
I currently live and work in Toulouse, SW France, the region where I was born in 1963.. Trained as a scientist I practised for some time as a part-time veterinary surgeon. As a self-taught artist (thanks to all those who helped and guided me), my first works were marble and bronze sculptures of wild animals - my ambition at the time was to produce objects of beauty. Then my scientific background and a better knowledge of art history drove me to explore the living and artistic worlds more deeply, together with the need to “use” animals to represent various facets of human behaviour. Thus appeared animal, anatomical and organic figures for which metamorphosis and hybridization are often central themes. While I like to work with different mediums and materials depending on my creational purpose, wax has come to predominate for me in both sculpture and painting. I also currently work with artist Luc Laumet, one notable example being our recent Drawing correspondence: 260 drawing exchanged beetween 14 December 2016 and 5 December 2017 http://pierrefauret.com/dessins-croises/ ....................................................................................
