Original Artwork on Recycled Elephant Dung Paper
Holly Inks is a contemporary British artist whose distinctive work combines playful storytelling, expressive mark-making and a strong sense of individuality. Her creations often blur the line between illustration and fine art, resulting in pieces that feel both whimsical and deeply personal.
This original artwork was created as a one-off piece in support of fundraising efforts for Glasgow Children's Hospital. Executed on recycled elephant dung paper, the work embraces sustainability while adding a unique tactile quality that enhances its handmade character and authenticity.
Featuring a lone cowboy riding beneath a starlit sky, the composition is beautifully minimalist, allowing the energy of the figure and the movement of the horse to take centre stage. The limited colour palette, punctuated by striking red boots and subtle gold accents, creates a powerful visual impact while retaining a sense of simplicity and charm. Holly Inks' expressive linework and playful approach give the piece a distinctive personality that immediately captures the viewer's attention.
This artwork comes from a private collection assembled in support of children's charities. For deeply personal reasons, the collector has chosen to continue that charitable legacy, with a donation from the sale of each piece from the collection being made to Bristol Children's Hospital.
As a unique original artwork and part of a collection with a meaningful charitable story, this piece offers collectors the opportunity to acquire not only a one-of-a-kind work of art but also to contribute towards an important cause.
