Description
This artwork, "Elephant Tank", by Gillie and Marc, is a striking juxtaposition of power and peace. The vibrant graffiti-style background enhances the contrast between the gentle, multicolored elephant and the crushed tank beneath it. The elephant, a symbol of wisdom and strength, appears to have overpowered the destructive force of war, represented by the broken military machine. The bold use of colors—blues, yellows, and reds—adds energy to the piece, reinforcing its message of resilience and hope over violence.
Artwork Features
The purest example of the artist’s freehand work, Gillie and Marc’s ‘Contemporary Line & Stencil Paintings’ are a stunning series that pairs unashamedly bold colors with deep black line work to form intimate moments featuring their signature alter egos, endangered wildlife and more. The carefully selected vivid colors and unmistakable imagery means no two pieces are alike and can have multiple meanings the more they are viewed. Gillie and Marc paint each unique canvas side-by-side ensuring love is engrained in every brushstroke of each one-of-a-kind work of art. Recently inspired by the pop style of Andy Warhol and the iconic stencils of street artists Banksy and Mr. Brainwash, Gillie and Marc expanded their collection with the edgy addition of using spray paint stencils on their canvases. The stark contrast of bright colors beneath a dark stencil breathes life into this limited series, embodying Gillie and Marc’s philosophy of the importance of accessible art by playfully bringing the street to the canvas.
Please note: All canvases come stretched and ready to hang, however if you would like your painting to be framed, Gillie and Marc are happy to provide this service for you at your request. For framing enquiries please email us.
