Featured in this lot is this Giclee on canvas called "Confrontation," circa 1987 from artist Simon Combes born in 1940 and died in 2004. The artwork features a wonderfully and professionally crafted Giclee on canvas construction that shows a lone male elephant charging forward from the herd exposing itself for this artwork. The artist signature is in the bottom right hand corner and is numbered 3/MMXIII. The location is the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya, a few miles north of the Tanzania border and the vast Serengeti. Small herds of elephants cross into this game reserve from the south, where poaching is prevalent. When humans approach they will immediately bunch together with the mature cows facing outward, ears outspread to catch every sound, trunks questing the air for danger and the youngsters hidden and protected behind their elders,” related Simon Combes. “This fine tusker before the herd is one that lost patience with my persistent presence. It chose the moment when I was half- way out of the roof hatch with the engine turned off to suddenly throw out his ears and blast his way towards the car. Sketch book, pencil and camera went flying as instinctively I performed half a dozen escape actions in the space of a split second. Pulling up short, he shook his head in disgust, dislodged a large cloud of dust and stalked away with his dignity intact.” The dramatic color combinations of the Masai Mara and the wild spirit of Africa come alive in this Anniversary Edition Fine Art Canvas. The condition of this Giclee on canvas is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this Giclee on canvas is 18" x 36".
