Martine's work was selected by Grayson Perry for Art Club on Channel 4 and exhibited at Bristol Museum.
Vic Falls is inspired by Elliott's memories of travelling through southern Africa. The journey was filled with contrasts: five-star hotels where brown water ran from the taps, the warmth and generosity of the people, rich red earth, violet canopy jacaranda trees in bloom and landscapes that seemed to stretch endlessly towards the horizon.
The painting reflects the aerial view that has shaped much of Elliott's work. Looking down from the aircraft, rivers, roads and changing colours formed abstract patterns, revealing the scale and beauty of the landscape in a way that could only be seen from above.
Rather than painting Victoria Falls itself, Vic Falls captures the feeling of travelling through the region. It is a memory of immense landscapes, shifting light and the lasting impression of a place whose beauty remained long after the journey had ended.
