Polkadotphant - Dots
This is one of 12 art installations in Eastbourne as part of the Elmer's Art Parade.
Elmer the Patchwork Elephant has come to Eastbourne for a celebratory anniversary visit – and has brought 11 of his Elmer friends with him. 2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the publication of the classic children’s picture book Elmer the Patchwork Elephant.
The herd of Elmers, inspired by the town’s status as a centre of artistic excellence and home of this year’s Turner Prize, are in position from 10 February until 14 April.
MrASingh’s sculpture Polkadotphant is inspired by the iconic Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Her use of polka dots, vibrant colours, and line making have influenced his artistic style and he is drawn to her philosophical approach to patterns and shapes, which encourages creative play and a sense of wonder.
MrASingh, who is inspired by nature, world cultures and the opportunity to inspire others, wanted to acknowledge Yayoi’s style but combine it with his own style of pattern making and colour.
