Ivory in Smoke by Shoaib Wazir is a hauntingly powerful 12" x 12" artwork and part of the artist's climate change series. It is painted using the signature technique of pyroblading; and depicts an elephant with enlarged ivory tusks, its body is hidden in the smoke.
The smoke, a powerful metaphor for environmental destruction, clings to the elephant’s body as it silently endures the devastation around it. The composition of the acrylic colors and the dark, smoky layers reflects the fragility of life on Earth as it struggles against the forces of climate change.
Wazir's mindful use of smoke and pyroblade techniques gives this painting an ethereal quality, making it a thought-provoking addition to any art collection.
