This charming folk art painting by british artist matt rix features a gentle cow asian elephant, depicted with the warm, expressive simplicity characteristic of his work. The elephant’s rounded form and small ears are captured with an endearing sense of personality. Her trunk hangs low and curls softly at the tip, giving the piece a calm and grounded presence. She stands upon muted green-toned earth beneath a softly clouded grey sky, creating a serene, atmospheric backdrop.
executed on board, the artwork is set within a hand-painted wooden frame, finished by the artist in deep black to complement the composition. The piece arrives ready to hang, offering an immediate decorative statement. The reverse is thoughtfully lined with a collage of antique backing papers, adding another layer of texture and history.
this painting is designed as a companion to a matching bull elephant, available separately. It looks beautiful displayed alone or paired with its partner for a striking duo.
the artwork measures approximately 47 cm x 41 cm, a distinctive and beautifully crafted example of matt rix’s contemporary folk art.
