"Kambaku" is an artwork that honours the majestic patriarch elephant, renowned for his solitary reign over an expansive territory between the Timbavati and Crocodile rivers in Southern Africa. As the third member of the legendary "Magnificent Seven," Kambaku is a symbol of strength and majesty, depicted in all his regal glory.
The artwork is richly textured, with the background painted using a palette knife technique. This method adds depth and mystery to the piece, evoking the rugged and enigmatic nature of the wilderness Kambaku called home. The layered textures suggest the complex and untamed environment that was his domain while also emphasising his solitary and powerful presence.

Kambaku's life, marked by his unique independence and tragic end at the hands of poachers in 1985, is poignantly captured in this piece. The textured background and the imposing figure of the elephant combine to create a sense of reverence and solemnity.
This artwork celebrates Kambaku's legacy and serves as a poignant reminder of the need for conservation and wildlife protection.
It belongs to African Art Fusion, the collaboration between sculptor Simon Shone and Martin Osner, bringing sculpture together with painting and photography.

How is the print made?
On archival pigment inks and heavyweight fine art paper, with a white border that carries the signature. Printed to order and checked by the artist before it is signed.
Is it signed and numbered?
Every print is signed by the artist. Limited editions are also numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity. Open edition prints are signed, not numbered.
How long does delivery take?
Usually 7 to 10 days from order to your door. Your print is made within 48 hours, carefully packed, then sent door to door by air freight, tracked all the way. Some parts of the world are a little quicker, a few a little slower.
Can I have it framed?

What currency will I pay in?
Prices are charged in US dollars. Beneath each price you see an estimate in your own currency, worked out from the dollar price at today's rate. Buyers in South Africa can pay in rand by bank transfer at checkout.
Will I pay VAT or import tax?
No VAT or tax is added to your price. We are not a VAT vendor, so there is nothing to claim back either. Depending on where you live, your country may charge import duty or tax when the work arrives. That is set by your country's customs rules and is out of our hands, so if you are unsure, your local customs office can tell you what to expect.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery, in the condition it arrived in and in its original packaging, with return shipping at your cost. If it arrives damaged, or it is the wrong work, we replace it or refund you at our cost. See the returns policy.
