Q: Does the sculpture represent a single gorilla or the adult + baby duo?
The adult + baby duo in a single sculpted composition — the adult gorilla in motion (quadrupedal walking posture) with its baby clinging to its back in the instinctive posture of a young primate being carried. The two are sculpted together in the same piece: it is a self-contained and complete narrative composition, ready to be placed without any additional staging.
Q: What is the difference between this gorilla with baby and the lone gorilla in the catalog?
Three major differences. The composition : the solitary gorilla is an individual sculpture (standing posture on fists, vigilant) ; this gorilla with baby is a narrative composition of two individuals (adult walking + baby on the back). The format : the gorilla with baby is longer (116 vs 90cm) and heavier (28 vs 22.5kg). The register : the solitary gorilla embodies raw power and quiet strength; the gorilla with baby adds the dimension of family, protection, and tenderness — two very different and very complementary readings.
Q : Can this sculpture stay in an outdoor garden all year round?
Yes without restriction — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. At 28kg and 116cm long, it is the most stable sculpture in the entire catalog — no wind, no frost, no rain will move it. No anchoring necessary.
Q : Is a special installation required?
Its weight (28kg) and footprint (116x58cm) ensure total stability without any anchoring on any firm horizontal surface. The only precaution is to have several people to move and install it given its exceptional weight, and to choose a solid surface (slab, concrete, compacted gravel) capable of supporting 28kg without sagging.
Q : Is it a good gift or a piece for a professional space?
It is a collector's item — a bold purchase that says something about the vision of space and decorative ambition. For a professional space (zoo, park, hotel, restaurant, event space), its life-size presence and its dual dimension of power + tenderness make it a major and memorable decorative attraction. For an individual with a large garden, it is the absolute signature piece — the one that is talked about and shown.
