David Kim Whittaker — Elephant, Tree, Whale
David Kim Whittaker

Elephant, Tree, Whale

1989

A striking fusion of the natural world, David Kim Whittaker's *Elephant, Tree, Whale* brings together three monumental living beings through the expressive textures of chalk pastel and charcoal on paper. The interplay of soft, luminous color and deep, smudged shadow creates a dreamlike atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between land, earth, and sea. Whittaker's bold mark-making evokes both the weight and grace of his subjects, inviting quiet contemplation of the connections that bind all living things.
