Description
This artwork, "London Elephant" by Gillie and Marc, creates a striking contrast between the natural world and urban life. Set against the backdrop of London at night, the painting features a majestic elephant standing in front of a classic red double-decker bus. The wet streets reflect the city lights, adding depth and mood to the scene. The elephant’s presence in this metropolitan setting challenges the viewer to consider themes of displacement, coexistence, and the intersection of wildlife with modern civilization. Gillie and Marc frequently use animals in their art to promote conservation awareness, and this piece likely serves as a reminder of the beauty and importance of wildlife in an increasingly urbanized world. The elephant’s powerful yet serene stance makes it a focal point, evoking a sense of awe and reverence.
Artwork Features
In this highly expressive and passionate style Gillie and Marc have let their emotions run free in this explosive collection of freehand painting. Inspired by the styles of Brett Whiteley, Francis Bacon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Gillie and Marc have combined enamel paint with oil pastel to breathe life into the worlds most endangered species. Over the past five years, Gillie and Marc spent hours sketching and studying wildlife, travelling the globe to meet these animals up close. These sketches have now been brought to life in vibrant colour with love and passion. Each painting is created as a team with both the artists bringing their own emotion into every painting.
