Elephant

2014

acrylic, marble powder, steel, oil paint
74x23x63cm

In comparison to other works in the Freight series, Elephant has a very anecdotal approach.

Inspired by the brutal and imposing straddle carriers found in Belgium’s harbour ports, Elephant - their nickname in the port of Antwerp - is a bestial and futuristic interpretation of these impressive machines.

This sculpture is modelled by hand and cast in high-tech acrylics.
