About the artwork

This painting by Texan artist Gaulthier features an elephant balancing a plate piled with numerous pancakes on its tusk. The elephant has a solemn appearance, which contrasts the amusing and surreal scene that is captured in the portrait. The damask style background that the elephant is foregrounded against furthers the paintings whimsicality, as it conveys a sense of grandeur and regality that humorously seems incongruent with its subject. In Gaulthier’s charming works her animal subjects are seen as ‘collectors’ who collect items like flowers, books, and in this elephant’s case, delicious treats. Her creative drive is influenced by her deep love for aesthetics, as well as her experiences living in urban and rural settings.



About the artist

Self-taught artist Gaulthier's whimsical style, described as "anthropomorphic realism", is a culmination of her personal experiences residing in urban and rural settings. Primarily motivated by a deep love for aesthetics, her works are influenced by vintage and modern graphic design. The wild creatures in her animal portraits are depicted in a humane and regal manner and are foregrounded on damask style backgrounds. She humorously depicts her animal subjects as ‘collectors’, who collect objects such as flowers, china, books, and baked goods.
