ELK Luke Cornish 'Saker Falcon'
type: Product
description: Luke Cornish, also known as ELK, is one of Australia's leading contemporary artists. This work belongs to his Dissimulation series, created in collaboration with Melbourne papermakers Dodgy Paper. Each sheet is handmade from shredded banknotes representing all 195 countries in the world, sourced through the artist's travels, his community, and eBay. Individually, the notes hold little or no exchange value; together, they are transformed into a powerful commentary on the illusion that wealth and material assets can buy freedom. Across the surface of this extraordinary paper, ELK has meticulously rendered a national bird using aerosol paint. The juxtaposition of finely crafted handmade paper and the immediacy of spray paint creates an intriguing tension, drawing the viewer beyond the striking image to consider the work's deeper themes of value, identity and perception. For collectors of Australian contemporary art, works on paper, and ELK's distinctive blend of street-art energy and meticulous craftsmanship, Saker Falcon is a rare find; an artwork that takes the idea of currency to new heights, while slyly questioning the value we place on money, assets and the promise of freedom they supposedly buy.
