Lifesize Young Elephant Water Feature by John Cox, Bronze, 220cm high by 270cm wide by 140cm deep. Animals and Birds, Classical, Figurative, Kinetic, Nature sculpture
Lifesize Young Elephant Water Feature by John Cox is a remarkable bronze sculpture measuring 220 cm high, 270 cm wide, and 140 cm deep. This life-size piece depicts a young elephant walking forward, its trunk raised high above its head in a lively, animated pose. The elephant’s mouth is open, showing a playful expression, while a short pair of tusks adds to its realistic charm.
The sculpture’s surface is smoothed and polished, yet detailed with natural folds and ridges across the elephant’s body. These textural details bring the skin to life, emphasizing strength and movement. The bronze has a deep grey-blue tone, while touches of gold accentuate the ears, tusks, and toenails, adding warmth and visual interest.
Functionally, this sculpture also serves as a water feature. A pump attaches discreetly to the elephant’s back right foot, allowing water to spray from its raised trunk, creating a dynamic and playful display. This combination of artistry and interactivity makes the piece both visually stunning and engaging.
John Cox captures the energy and innocence of a young elephant, blending realistic anatomy with sculptural elegance. Its large scale and lifelike posture make it an impressive focal point in gardens, pools, or public spaces. The mix of polished bronze, rich colouring, and water movement ensures the sculpture draws attention from every angle, offering both aesthetic beauty and playful interaction.
