SMELLY FANT

SMELLY FANT THE ELEPHANTOID LIGHT. Literally speaking, this elephant in the room is one that cannot be ignored. Standing 163 centimetres tall (that’s over 1 1/2 metres), Elephant is the life-size creation of Isidro Ferrer’s kindred Funny Farm character—Smelly Fant. An inspired light sculpture, Elephant is certain to bring a smile to every face and arouse a feeling of wonderment. To produce the Elephant light, craftsman Manolo Martin employed the ‘vareta’ technique (used in creating the life-size Fish). The result is a handsome handmade wooden structure: an elephantoid lamp with big ears, a trunk, legs and body. A soft and cheerful light is diffused through Elephant’s natural wood veneer inner lining. Perfect for a myriad of public and private settings, Elephant is happiest when surrounded by loving and curious individuals. Each Life Size piece is unique, as evidenced by the artisan’s handcraftsmanship in each one of them, the finish of each one is different and the raw materials used, without hiding their original nature, highlight their uniqueness, providing a coherent discourse with the artist’s intention.
