François Vandenberghe
Very influenced by a very long stay of 27 years in Gabon, he will know sporting glory there by winning several championship titles, both in motorcycling and automobiles. François Vandenberghe will also be the creator and expedition leader of the famous Challenge of the Equator, elected event of the year in 1986. It is around this time that he will truly meet elephants. François Vandenberghe then returns to his country of origin and devotes himself exclusively to plastic art since 1995.
Elephants remain the artist's favorite subject, which he puts on stage in allegories that he masks behind a troubling appearance of reality. “Man makes noise but his earth speaks!“. This quote from a friend of the sculptor fairly well summarizes the personality of this artist who succeeds in delivering a message, constantly renewed, on the theme of Elephants.
