Ancient, Fearless and Unstoppable
The Biggest Aurochs Bull,
Bone is Memory,
From painted cave walls of Lascaux and Chauvet, To the temple stones of the Euphrates’
From flint-blade chases across Ice Age snow To Roman arenas and Celtic altars,
From Minotaur to Lamassu,
​
From cave to crown,
From hunted beast to Demi god.
A walking axis between earth and sky,
death and life, beast and man.
Adored and feared, hunted and revered,
The Totem and the Trophy.​​
The Aurochs Bull Was King!
​​​
​In the memory of Bone, we witness his revival,
Aurochs Bull Reconstruction.
A declaration, of the future relationship, between
mankind and Nature, on the European continent.
Sergei Merjeevski, spearheads a sculpture, and a conversation with the future where,
Ecological restoration, becomes an act of cultural renewal.
The bull, embodies divine masculinity as responsibility: strength in service of life,
​
Muscle, bone, skin and horn are rendered with anatomical truth,
A reminder, that the primal body, is to be remembered and refined.
This is a story of European pride reclaimed,
Through nature stewardship, restauration and reconnection
What we once tamed, we now call to rewild.
