"The Elk and the Little Princess"
"Over there you see the fairies. They seem kind and friendly but never trust them and beware of them. Hold my horns tightly with both hands, don't talk to them and pretend you don't see them and they won't have power over you.”
With inspiration from Helge Kjellin's "The Tale of the Moose Bull Skutt and the Little Princess Tuvstarr" with illustrations by John Bauer in 1913. The moose Skutt takes the princess Tuvstarr on an adventure and tries to teach her about the world.
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.
