ABOUT THE ARTWORK
An elephant in the heat of an African sun. Sitting in the bush the sun bakes, elephants roar, monkeys chatter in the trees and lions roar in the distance and always the relentless midday heat. Gadd has used the colors of Africa to convey the bright and burning place. The sun (ilanga) is the great father of Africa, Nyanga (earth) represented by the elephant, his wife. The African symbols in the background convey messages of hope, love, ubuntu (working together), happy marriage, creativity, friendship, beauty, balance, forgiveness etc. In using these ancient symbols, Gadd hopes to imbue the hanging environment with positive messages and warmth. Gadd has herself been charged on two occasions by rhinos, so the danger and yet intrinsic beauty are close to her soul.

Ann Gadd
South Africa
Ann is a vibrant and prolific artist, wildlife photographer, and author. She was voted in 2020 as one of South Africa's top artists. She initially became known for her ‘ewe/sheep’ series of work. Whilst maintaining her ironic humor she has painted a number of other series of works, including ‘Wild Life’ ‘Zulu Lulu’ and 'Going to the Dogs series. A recurring theme in her work is a play on words and the use of popular jargon. Her quirky, humorous, yet profoundly insightful art, allows the viewer not only to laugh at themselves but to examine many of the absurd aspects of life.
