Painted in 1974, Elephant by Roger Hilton is a vivid and highly expressive example of the artist’s late burst of artistic creativity. Executed with sweeping gestural brushwork and animated by bold passages of red, ochre and blue against a deep grey form, the composition transforms the circus elephant into a playful semi abstract presence.
