Most paintings are acrylic on paper (or more rarely canvass) and some of these animal artists actually use dung paper — so yes folks that’s art from both ends of the elephant. Each painting is priced from $350 to $450 for abstract works, while coveted representational pieces (such as trees, still-lifes, flowers, bouquets,) or these pachyderm self-portraits painted by Hong, go for about $750. And leave it to the handlers of the lone participating elephant in the United States to encourage Renee to super-size things with a 9′ x 10′ canvas priced at $12,000. Paintings can be purchased directly from the AEACP website.

Also each elephant artist has their own unique biography with stats on location, age, sex (whether their a “tusker” or not), plus the meaning of their names, as well as each elephant’s fascinating story of how they came to the project and their unique artistic pachyderm painting styles.
