“Ancestral Memories” – A Bronze Sculpture of Wisdom and Legacy
• Material: Bronze
• Limited edition of 8 copies
• Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Barthélémy Arts Foundry
“Ancestral Memories” is a bronze sculpture embodying the majestic elephant, a universal symbol of wisdom, memory, and an unbreakable bond with nature. This piece explores the intimate relationship between humanity and the animal world, while questioning our increasing disconnection from the very foundations of life on Earth.
The elephant, with its powerful yet sensitive feet, captures the essence of the world—the energy of the earth, the memory of water, and the vibrations of the land, sensations that modern man is gradually losing. Endowed with a unique sensitivity, the elephant embodies deep emotions that humans have progressively forsaken over time.
Through this work, I pay tribute to the family bonds and wisdom of elephants, qualities that serve as a poignant reminder of what we once were—deeply connected to nature, capable of authentic emotional depth. Elephants, through their funerary rituals, their ability to grieve, to remember, and to celebrate their social ties, reveal what mankind has forgotten: the profound emotional richness that connects all living beings to the whole.
The intricately textured bronze reflects the weight of ancestral memories carried by this elephant, much like fragments of wisdom passed down through generations, yet increasingly beyond human grasp. The monumental presence of this sculpture emphasizes its significance—not only physically, but spiritually—as a silent guardian of truths we must rediscover.
Symbolism Embedded in the Work
• Family: The elephant stands as a pillar of solidarity and protection, embodying the importance of familial bonds.
• Memory and Wisdom: These ancestral qualities, though partly forgotten by mankind, remain intact within the elephant.
• Connection to the Earth: Through its feet, it feels every vibration of the land, a connection modern humans have lost.
Each edition of this sculpture serves as an invitation to reflect—on who we were, who we have become, and the urgency of reconnecting with what ties us to life itself.
Certificate of Authenticity
Each sculpture is delivered with a signed certificate from Barthélémy Arts Foundry, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity of the piece.

Chartier Sébastien
Sébastien Chartier, sculpteur autodidacte, explore la relation entre l’humain, l’animal et la nature. Inspiré par les migrations, les civilisations anciennes et les symboles universels, il crée des sculptures figuratives en céramique et bronze, mêlant force et fragilité. Ses œuvres intègrent des socles en métal évoquant l’archéologie, prolongeant leur sens. Exposées dans des galeries françaises et collections privées internationales, elles invitent à réfléchir sur la trace laissée par l’humanité.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Huang Yulong was born in 1983 in Anhui Province, China. In 2007 he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute in Jiangxi Province. As one of the new generation of Chinese artists and part of the ‘post-80s generation’ and ‘only child’ generation, Huang is strongly influenced by the phenomenon of foreign culture in China, which he combines with his fascination with pottery and the material world. Huang is best known for his sculptures of Buddhas in hoodies, displaying an exchange of Eastern tradition and Western contemporary style. He was selected by “Complex” as “25 Contemporary Chinese Artists You Need to Know” in 2013. His sculptures have been exhibited at Niubi Newbie Kids II, at Schoeni Gallery, Hong Kong; “Zeitgeist” Huang Yulong’s Solo Exhibition at Himalayas Art Museum, Shanghai, China; Chinese Artist / Marseille Artist at Marseilles, France; The 4th International Contemporary Art Exhibition at Gwangju Biennale Korea, Art Beijing Art...
