About this artwork
The Asian elephant, generally smaller than its African cousin, measures between 2.5 and 3 meters at the withers for males and weighs 4 tonnes on average. Formerly present on the whole of the Asian continent, it now occupies only a reduced territory. In the wild, the species is endangered, even if the ivory trade is illegal.

« Art should not only be used for art, you have to put your know-how at the service of making it known. »
Thierry Bisch is a French artist who has exhibited his paintings nationally, in Spain, Singapore, Belgium, and Monaco. For the last ten years, his sole artistic statement and purpose is to sound the alarm on the collapse of wildlife, on the sixth mass extinction that is in progress. Bisch's large-format compositions are created using oils and tempera. He leaves unfished aspects where only a charcoal line is visible, symbolizing the erasure of the subject.
