Unique handmade artwork on discarded laminate
Elephants are large mammals in the family Elephantidae within the order of trunks (Proboscidea). Traditionally, two species are recognized, the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). DNA studies have established that African elephants consist of two distinct species, the savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), respectively.
Elephants are distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and southern and southeastern Asia. They are the only surviving species of trunked animals; extinct are the mammoths and mastodons, among others. Elephants are the largest living land animals. Male African elephants can reach a height of 4 m and a mass of 7000 kg. These animals have several distinctive features, such as a trunk that is used for many purposes, especially for grasping objects. Their incisors grow into tusks and serve as tools for moving objects, digging and as weapons during fights. The large ear flaps of the elephant are used to control the temperature of the body. African elephants have larger ears and a concave back, while Asian elephants have smaller ears a convex or straight back.
Poachers shoot the elephants for the ivory from their tusks. Ivory trade is one of the most important
Unique, affordable and personalized art, portraits and gifts on preferably old, used or discarded wood.
We are Gerhard van Dijkhuizen and Colet Scheper. Together we came up with the concept hou2use. Based on a photo we invent, design and create unique, personal and affordable art on wood. We strongly believe in sustainability and therefore we prefer to make portraits of people or (domestic) animals on used or discarded wood.
We love most art on commission. We then conceive and create, together with you and especially for you, a custom-made work of art or portrait on wood.
Thanks to our special collaboration with Werk aan de Muur, you can also reproduce our unique work in virtually any format and on virtually any material!
