Milky Way by Christian Hook is a captivating contemporary composition that explores the elephant form through abstraction, texture and playful detail.

A powerful monochrome silhouette emerges from a soft neutral ground, scattered with vibrant circles, intricate patterns and delicate collage-like elements. The contrast between the imposing subject and colourful embellishments creates a wonderful sense of energy and imagination.

Presented as a framed limited edition on textured paper, Milky Way is released in an edition of only 95.
