Silent Thought, Ricky the Chimp

Limited Edition Bronze by Geoffrey C. Smith
9"l x 10"w x 14.5"h
 
Cast in bronze, Silent Thought captures Ricky, a former circus chimpanzee, in a moment of quiet introspection. His posture—legs tucked close, fingers interlaced—conveys both strength and vulnerability. Once forced to perform under bright lights, Ricky’s life took a turn toward peace when he found sanctuary at Save the Chimps in Fort Pierce, Florida. There, he rediscovered dignity and the gentle rhythms of nature. This sculpture is more than likeness; it’s a portrait of resilience. A portion of each sale supports the sanctuary that gave Ricky a second chance. Silent Thought is a tribute to all who’ve endured and found healing.
