Elephants are lowered into the Place Vendome on winches- perhaps to invade Paris or perhaps to take their rightful place as mans’ best friend? Blake focuses on elephants in several of the Paris Suite works and they appear in the background of many more, he gives them a human quality. Their presence fulfils two key elements of Blake’s collage work: humour and an exploration of the surreal and unexpected.
