"The boy who was never afraid"
"Here you will get a piece of a magic herb, which (no one) more than I can look for" – The grateful Skogsrået's gift to the boy who had just helped her. With the help of the magic herb in his ear, the boy can understand the animals of the forest.
The fairy tale "The Boy Who Never Was Afraid" was written by Alfred Smedberg and published with illustrations by John Bauer in 1912 in the magazine Bland tomtar och troll.
Since early childhood, Helle Bang has been inspired by the beautiful mystery of nature. From the girl's childhood fascination around the Limfjord to the artist's eternal source of inspiration and creation. In nature there is both heaven and earth, energy and harmony.
This is where our contemporary artist finds his calling to create an enchanting tribute in bronze – a tribute to art, history, nature and the magical world of John Bauer. The sculptures are handcrafted from scratch in clay inspired by John Bauer's famous fairy tale world and cast in bronze in a unique edition of ltd 8. After casting, the works are carefully polished and processed by the artist.
