Description
London Elephant transports the viewer into a surreal nighttime scene in the heart of London. A majestic elephant stands tall against the backdrop of the iconic Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, bathed in the warm glow of streetlights. A classic red double-decker bus—an unmistakable symbol of the city—adds a striking contrast to the deep, moody tones of the painting. The artwork evokes a sense of wonder, prompting us to reflect on the relationship between nature and urban life, tradition and change. Through this dreamlike juxtaposition, Gillie and Marc challenge us to reimagine the spaces we inhabit and the creatures we share them with.
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.
